Frankly Speaking | Are we heading for an energy crisis?
from Friends of Europe podcasts · host Friends of Europe
2 June 2022: In Episode 14 of Friends of Europe’s Frankly Speaking Podcast’s special on the war in Ukraine, host Tracey D’Afters is joined by our Senior Fellows for Peace, Security and Defence, Paul Taylor and Jamie Shea. Energy is top of the agenda. With the EU deal to ban Russian oil this week, we discuss how effective these oil sanctions are likely to be and whether the EU would go a step further and adopt an embargo on Russian gas. We ask Jamie for an update on what’s happening on the ground in Ukraine and Russia’s ongoing military strategy. Paul considers the role that Turkey can play in mediation. And finally, we ask: ‘is the West still united or losing its way when it comes to the strategic approach towards the war in Ukraine?’
