22: The War in Ukraine and Energy - Im Gespräch mit Ruslana Lyzhichko

Luca und Stefan sprechen spontan mit der bekannten ukrainischen Sängerin, Botschafterin für Erneuerbare Energien und Demokratie-Aktivistin Ruslana Lyzhichko. Sie berichtet von den schrecklichen Geschehnissen in der Ukraine, was die Energiepolitik damit zu tun hat - und was sie von Regierungen und Weltgesellschaft jetzt erwartet: "We are strong enough." Today, the world is facing an escalation of the crisis in Eastern Europe in form of a military attack on Ukraine. The tensions between Russia and Ukraine have, without doubt, a lot to do with the fossil energy system. For many years, there have been conflicts around the fossil energy supply of Europe, in particular related to gas pipelines. How far has the fossil energy system contributed to the escalation of the crisis, by creating dependencies? What is the current situation in Ukraine? We will talk about this with Ruslana Lyzhichko who lives in Ukraine and became famous as winner of the ESC, but later also as Maidan activist and as Ambassador for Renewable Energy. How can the world support the people in Ukraine in the short term? And what should be the longer-term strategy? Will a renewable energy world bring more peace and prosperity to the region?
