The Russian war in Ukraine has highlighted the European States’ dependency on Russian fossil fuel production. In fact, it led to the ongoing energy crisis which asserted its impact throughout the continent and extended even beyond. This current scenario has led to several discussions concerning the European energy market, and whether there is an existing solution to the substitution of the ramped-up fossil fuel production (to lower the prices) with green initiatives. On 17th November 2022, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyi reaffirmed that at the end of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Ukraine “is capable of becoming a key partner of the European Union for the purposes of decarbonization”. Thus, Ukraine has a lot of potential in the advancement of renewable energy, a solution that seems to be feasible and meets every involved actor’s needs.

Les conséquences de l’invasion russe en Ukraine se sont étendues à divers domaines de la société: l’économie, le social et, bien sûr, la politique. En réaction, et sans pouvoir intervenir directement dans le conflit, plusieurs pays ont imposé des sanctions économiques et politiques à la Russie afin de la dissuader de ses actions. Néanmoins, l’une des industries russes les plus cruciales n’a pas été touchée en raison des dommages qu’elle aurait pu causer à la plupart des pays européens : l’exportation de gaz et de pétrole.
