Posted 2026-10-19 — 60 days before the deadline, stated before the outcome.
The European Commission is the executive body of the European Union responsible for proposing and enforcing policies. This forecast concerns a specific diplomatic proposal regarding the resumption of large-scale Russian gas purchases by EU member states.
The claim
By 2026-12-18, the European Commission will publicly reject the Witkoff-Kushner proposal, reported on 2026-10-19, for the EU to resume larger purchases of Russian gas.
Reasoning trace
- NYT reported on 2026-10-19 that Witkoff and Kushner proposed to EU officials that the EU resume larger purchases of Russian gas.
- The proposal conflicts with the EU's standing policy of reducing dependence on Russian fossil fuels.
- EU officials face political and legal pressure from member states and the European Parliament to reject any return to Russian gas.
- The European Commission issues a public statement rejecting the proposal.
