The EU is unlikely to accept the US proposal to resume Russian gas deliveries through Ukraine, as it contradicts its commitment to phase out Russian gas imports by 2027. The plan, which involves an American company facilitating gas exports, aims to generate transit revenue for Ukraine and provide European consumers access to Russian gas. However, EU officials express frustration over the lack of prior consultation from Washington. Despite potential benefits for Ukraine, including transit fees, the EU remains focused on reducing dependency on Russian fossil fuels, citing past political manipulation by Moscow. The EU's energy independence efforts will persist beyond the Ukraine conflict.
