Please join the Ukrainian Studies Program at the Harriman Institute for a lecture by Mark Temnycky. Moderated by Mark Andryczyk.

Throughout Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the Russians have targeted non-military areas and Ukrainian infrastructure. Various parts of Ukrainian society will need to be rebuilt, including the energy sector, as this is problematic as experts predict that Eastern Europe is approaching another cold winter. Despite this chaos, the Ukrainians have taken steps to enhance their energy security during this uncertain time. Ukraine has integrated its natural gas and electricity markets with Europe, making it less dependent on Russian energy. The Ukrainians are also cutting their usage of fossil fuels, and they are investing in renewable energy. This could see Ukraine become a leader in green energy on the European continent.
