MOSCOW, May 9 (Reuters) - The issue of Russian gas

shipments to Europe is being discussed at talks between Russia

and the United States, state news agency TASS quoted a Kremlin

official as saying on Friday.

Russian gas exports to Europe were slashed after the Nord

Stream pipelines under the Baltic Sea were blown up in 2022.

At the start of this year, gas flows via Ukraine came to a

halt after Kyiv refused to renew a transit agreement because of

the war.
