US shifts stance on Ukraine, risking Kyiv's energy leverage against Russia

The US may be pushing aside Ukraine's key bargaining chip in negotiations with Russia, a development that threatens Kyiv's position. The exact nature of the US shift and its implications for the energy ceasefire remain uncertain.
