Citat:U.S. Eyes Control of Gazprom Pipeline in Ukraine — Reuters
Washington is pushing to take over one of Ukraine’s most strategic assets: the pipeline that channels Russian gas to Europe, Reuters reports, citing sources close to the talks.
According to internal documents, the U.S. wants management of the pipeline handed over to the International Development Finance Corporation — a U.S. government agency. Within the negotiation team, the demand was bluntly nicknamed the “Easter egg.”
▪️Talks on the deal took place on April 11 and were reportedly marked by sharp tensions. Kyiv appears increasingly uneasy with its role as a client state under full control of its “partners.”
The twist? Ukraine still hasn’t received any solid security guarantees from the U.S. Instead, the deal gives American entities access to natural resources, total control over Ukraine’s investment fund, and increased pressure on President Zelensky.
Western media reports say the terms are tightening — with the White House effectively delivering Kyiv an ultimatum: Sign the deal, or forget our support.
