Russian and European officials say the US is exploring ways to work with energy giant Gazprom PJSC on global projects, a step toward forging closer ties with the Kremlin while trying to broker a peace deal on Ukraine.
European assessments suggest there have been preliminary contacts between US and Russian representatives on the issue, but it’s not clear who’s leading the conversations or whether the Trump administration is directly involved, according to people familiar with the matter. The White House declined to comment.
