Putin vs Monnet: European Resilience, Energy and the Ukraine War [GGP]
As the Ukraine war escalates with no end in sight, Europe’s resilience is put to test. Nowhere is this clearer than in the energy sphere, where the crisis first created the perfect timing for Russia’s invasion and then became weaponised in the broader confrontation with the West. In fact, whereas the war is being fought militarily on Ukrainian soil, it unfolds also across different policy spheres in different regions. As far as energy is concerned, while the implications are global, the principal protagonists are the EU and Russia. In this confrontation, two interpretations of resilience come to the fore: pain endurance and transformation through crisis. Which one will prevail will shape the outcome of the war and the future of Europe.
