With a frost covering Europe's energy relations with Russia, officials from Washington and Moscow have held discussions about the U.S. helping to revive Russian gas sales to the continent, eight sources familiar with the talks have told Reuters.

Amid tense relations with Russia, the U.S. is engaged in talks to potentially revive Russian gas sales to Europe. Despite Europe's shift to alternative suppliers after the 2022 Ukraine conflict, some industry insiders suggest that a peace deal could open doors for renewed gas agreements with Moscow.

The European Union vowed to end energy relations with Russia after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
