Indeed. Carter Page, one Trump's foreign policy advisers has deep connections with Gazprom (and his campaign manager also used to work for Viktor Yanukovych), so its a little suspicious how the Trump camp insisted on softening the language on Russia in the GOP platform. Plus his recent comment on ending US sanctions on Russia and recognizing Crimea as being a part of Russia.
