The administration of Donald Trump is considering including the resumption of Russian gas deliveries to Europe in a future peace agreement on Ukraine. US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are said to have discussed the option with Ukrainian and European officials, according to the New York Times, which revealed the information on 17 October.
The proposal comes as the European Union plans to end its purchases of Russian gas by 2027. Donald Trump’s peace plan, an initial version of which was deemed favourable to Moscow, has already prompted criticism. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had said that the proposal was drafted by the United States.
