US, Russia, and Germany negotiate energy supply through Ukraine

firstpost.com

The United States, Russia, and Germany are in talks to resume Russian energy supplies to Europe through the Druzhba pipeline, which runs through Ukraine. This marks a shift from previous discussions focused on the halted Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The Druzhba pipeline previously transported oil to Europe until Ukraine blocked it in January 2023. A truce with Kyiv is reportedly a condition for resuming gas deliveries. Slovakia and Hungary still receive oil via this route. Negotiations may also involve American companies interested in Russian assets in Germany. Discussions about re-launching the undamaged section of Nord Stream 2 are ongoing, potentially linking these talks to a broader US-Russia agreement regarding the Ukraine conflict.
