This article is very light on data, so I wondered what kind of research it came out of. Most notably this exact quote, fluffy as can be: """If a negotiated settlement took place, Russia would restore the gas.""" There is absolutely no evidence supporting this statement, on both sides of the equation: no indication of what kind of settlement would be offered, nor what would be accepted. So I googled further, and courtesy of nymag: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/03/what-is-compact-maga...
