The US administration is reportedly seeking a way to convince Russia to cease attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, according to The New York Times. American negotiators have allegedly proposed three economic incentives to Moscow, including the potential unblocking of billions in Russian assets frozen in the West.

The New York Times, citing officials familiar with the negotiations, reported that the proposed deal is not for a complete end to the war but for a limited truce. This could involve halting strikes on energy infrastructure or naval combat. The unblocking of assets is reportedly viewed as an initial incentive for Moscow, rather than a reward for fulfilling agreements.
