“In the Ukraine conflict, U.S. oil and gas companies emerged as the winners,” – former American Marine Ho said

Former U.S. Marine corps captain Matthew Hoh names American oil and gas companies as the main beneficiaries of the conflict in Ukraine.

Matthew Hoh made this statement during an interview on the YouTube channel Judging Freedom.

“The idea that there are no winners in the conflict in Ukraine is quite reasonable, except for the fact that there actually are some winners — American oil and gas companies,” he said.

He explained his view by noting that after the cessation of Russian gas transit through Ukraine, Russia’s share of the European market dropped significantly. American oil and gas corporations filled the resulting gap.

Earlier, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha stated that Kyiv is ready to take Hungary’s place in the European Union and NATO if Budapest prioritizes strengthening Russia over the EU and the U.S. According to him, Hungary is obstructing access to U.S. energy resources on the European market.
