On Nov. 2, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it is very difficult at present to discuss resuming Russian gas transit to Europe through Ukraine, as reality shows such plans cannot be carried out at this time. He said they would wait and see what happens in the future. The comments followed a Wall Street Journal report that the US supports an early resumption of Russian gas supplies to Europe via pipelines crossing Ukraine.

- US Plans Unexpected Economic Boost for Russia: Europe Immediately Objects
The US is pushing to quickly restart the sale of Russian gas to Europe through the pipeline crossing Ukraine, possibly via a US intermediary, with the proceeds placed in an escrow account in a third country so Moscow cannot use them to fund the war. Washington sees this as a lever to persuade President Vladimir Putin to accept a ceasefire on energy infrastructure, and Kyiv could earn significant transit fees. However, the EU must fully end Russian gas purchases by the end of 2027, and many European leaders have said they do not want to depend on Moscow again. Before the war Russia supplied about 45% of Europe's gas, now only about 11%, while US LNG covers about 30% of demand; the Iran conflict has pushed Europe's energy spending up by about 100 billion euros (112 billion USD), and storage is about 75% full. Moscow has not yet accepted the US-backed energy-strike ceasefire effort.
- US proposes new plan to resolve Russia-Ukraine conflict
According to The Economist, citing Ukrainian officials, the US has reportedly proposed new terms for a peace deal to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict: Ukraine would drop its bid to join NATO, establish a demilitarized zone in Donbass, and restore the Nord Stream pipeline. In return, Russia would receive eased sanctions and resumed gas supplies to Europe, while Ukraine would get an “investment package” and EU membership. Neither Russia nor Ukraine has commented. The Kremlin said Putin sent no settlement documents via US envoy Steve Witkoff, but presidential aide Yury Ushakov said Russia is ready to resume trilateral talks with the US and Ukraine within the first 10 days of November, focusing on post-conflict security. Alexander Gusarov of Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Moscow has no doubt about Trump’s goodwill, but warned that US political and partisan dynamics could significantly affect Congress’s Russia agenda, including the sanctions bill known as the “Lindsey Graham Act”.
- Gas flows via Nord Stream to Europe could restart quickly
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on October 21 that Russia could quickly restore gas supplies to Europe via the intact Nord Stream line, and the other three lines could be technically restored if needed. He said resumption depends mainly on Germany and European political will. Line B is fully built and filled with technical gas but has not been certified due to sanctions, and Moscow says operating it also requires mandatory legal procedures. On October 20, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz would not restore the pipeline even if prices rose several times over. The New York Times reported that the Trump administration proposed that Europe resume Russian gas supplies and Nord Stream operations as part of a plan to settle the conflict in Ukraine.
- US wants to bring Russian gas back to EU via Ukraine, Moscow immediately says: 'Cannot be done'
The Kremlin said a reported US plan to restore Russian gas flows to Europe via Ukraine cannot be carried out under current conditions, though it did not rule out resumption in the future. According to the Wall Street Journal, Washington wants to revive the route as part of a deal halting attacks on energy infrastructure, with gas sold through a US intermediary to get around European sanctions, and Ukraine would collect transit fees. Transit through Ukraine ended on January 1, 2025, after Kiev did not renew its five-year deal with Moscow. Meanwhile, the EU has rejected large-scale purchases of Russian gas and aims to end imports entirely by end-2027, while regional gas prices have reached their highest level in nearly four years.
- European Commission rejects US peace plan on transit of Russian gas through Ukraine
The European Commission said it will not lift restrictions on Russia until the war ends, rejecting a US proposal to restore Russian gas transit through Ukraine as part of a peace deal, according to spokesperson Paula Pinho. According to negotiations, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner floated the idea to Ukrainian and European officials, including President Zelensky, with Russia gaining export revenue and Ukraine earning money from gas flowing through its territory. Germany reacted especially strongly, fearing a return to dependence on Russian energy. The US also discussed letting American investors take part in supply, including Nord Stream projects, and could receive part of the profits from Russian gas exports.
- US Proposes Europe Buy More Russian Gas to Advance Ukraine Peace
According to The New York Times, the US plan for Ukraine peace calls on Europe to buy more Russian gas, while Ukraine may consider reopening pipelines that once carried gas to the EU. The proposal is tied to broader issues, including Russia–NATO relations, security guarantees for Ukraine and territorial questions. Russian gas transit through Ukraine was halted in January 2025, leaving TurkStream as the only remaining pipeline route to the EU. Russia's share of EU gas imports fell from about 45% before 2022 to around 12% in 2025, yet the EU bought 36 billion m3 of Russian gas last year, including LNG estimated at €7.2 billion. The EU has begun phasing out some Russian pipeline contracts and plans to ban Russian LNG from January 2027 and pipeline gas from September, aiming for full elimination by the end of 2027.

- Lode Gold Identifies Exploration Potential for Additional Higher-Grade Gold Within Previously Drilled Areas at Fremont Gold Mine
Lode Gold says it has identified structural controls on gold grade distribution at the Pine Tree-Josephine Mine within its Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, USA, based on digitized 1941 channel samples and historical drilling. The Pine Tree vein has at least two higher-grade shoots, each about 50-60 metres long with grades of roughly 4-6 g/t Au, located before transverse normal faults, while on the Josephine vein higher-grade zones occur after the faults. The Josephine vein was barely explored in this area, though a later drill hole intersected 43.02 g/t Au over 0.61 metres. Because the historical grid drilling of about 30 by 30 metres did not target these structural positions, future drilling can be designed around them. Chair Hashim Ahmed said the shift to bulk underground mining supports lower costs, and the cut-off grade has been lowered to 0.82 g/t Au due to higher gold prices.
