For the past three years, the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has served to highlight the impact of energy exports and infrastructure on geopolitics. While Europe has responded to the invasion by seeking to radically reduce its energy dependence on Russia, Moscow remains a significant supplier and continues to demonstrate a readiness to leverage this status for political gain.
Russia’s invasion has highlighted the need for Europe to pursue greater energy flexibility and connectivity. With sufficient support from the country’s European partners, Ukraine can potentially make an important contribution toward achieving these goals, especially using the three Three Seas Initiative, a political, infrastructural, and commercially driven platform for improving connectivity between the Baltic, Adriatic, and Black seas.
