US envoys propose EU resume Russian gas purchases, Ukraine transit

US special envoys Witkoff and Kushner have proposed to EU officials that Europe resume larger purchases of Russian gas and that Ukraine resume transit, a move partially confirmed by Meduza English. This proposal, reportedly part of a Trump administration Ukraine peace plan, aims to ease energy pressure on Russia and normalize trade, but faces significant European resistance and uncertainty regarding EU receptivity given existing sanctions and security concerns. The proposal's full scope and official US government endorsement remain unconfirmed.
