Ukraine is lobbying with its Western allies for the redirection of Russian gas flows from the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to the pipeline that runs through its territory, Reuters has reported, citing energy officials.
According to the report, Ukrainian lobbyists have argued that the more gas Russia transports via its pipeline, the more transit fees the government in Kiyv will collect, helping it fund the war. At the same time, the shift would, according to them, prevent Russia from damaging Ukrainian pipeline infrastructure.

I liked this reader comment.
"So wait. Not sure I understand this. Ukraine wants NATO buddies to re-route RUSSIAN gas through Ukraine to help pay for the war WITH Russia? But then they want the EU to stop importing Russian gas? My clown car is getting too crowded."
