It's all a scam to get US citizens to stop using NG and LNG so that the US can sell it to the EU at 5x the current market price. The Ukr conflict was entirely caused by the US and western vassal states over the sale of NG/CNG to the EU from Ru. Keep in mind that the west still continues to use Ukr as a proxi to try to weaken Ru at the cost of capital and immense losses of dead Ukr citizens.
