Ukraine’s energy situation is dire. After nearly three years of sustained Russian attacks, Ukraine’s ability to produce, store, and transmit power has been severely impaired—which has far-reaching implications for the Ukrainian war effort and disastrous humanitarian consequences. In order to defend its territory and defeat Russia, Ukraine must be able to meet its significant and immediate energy needs and defend and maintain its energy infrastructure.

Meanwhile, in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the European Union has mobilized to bolster its energy security and stem the vast flows of oil and gas revenue funding Russia’s war of aggression, with mixed results. While member states have banned several Russian energy products and invested significantly in enhancing their energy independence, Russia has continued to earn billions of dollars in oil revenue.

This briefing will examine the effectiveness of the efforts of EU member states to decrease their dependence on Russian energy. Panelists will discuss the importance of denying Russia the ability to transform energy into cash as it prosecutes its war on Ukraine and offer policy recommendations on addressing critical energy infrastructure challenges facing Ukraine.

Panelists will include:

Dr. Anna Mikulska – Research Staff Member, IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute
Dr. Joseph Majkut – Director of Energy Security and Climate Change, Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS)
Ms. Olga Khakova – Deputy Director for European Energy Security, Global Energy Center at the Atlantic Council
