Three years after Putin ordered Putin Ukraine’s full-scale aggression, Russia has cooperated in the United States as one of the several possible paths to bring Moscow to the cold.

Russia’s ability to sell liquid natural gas in the world market has also been hampered by its Arctic Energy facility and Western sanctions against the tanker fleet.

Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witcoof hinted at the discussion in an interview aired after meeting Putin in Moscow last week.

Five European members of the Artic Council – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden – have shown very little interest in sending Russia when its troops are still in Ukraine.
