They want gas from Russia. Controversial plan by the USA

According to reports, U.S. emissaries proposed a plan to sell Russian gas through American intermediaries to bypass European sanctions, creating investment opportunities. This contradicts the EU's strategy to phase out Russian gas by 2027. The plan was initially shelved after Ukraine halted attacks on Russian refineries under pressure from President Trump, but recent escalations may revive discussions. U.S. negotiators believe that reintroducing Russian gas to Europe could incentivize Putin to agree to an energy ceasefire, with funds deposited in escrow accounts to prevent war financing. However, European officials oppose this idea, viewing it as contrary to their values and likening it to appeasement before WWII. The U.S. sees reopening Nord Stream as part of a broader agreement to end the war and normalize relations with Russia.
