At the heart of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the wider crisis
affecting Europe, is the question of energy security. How did the
West become so reliant on Russian oil and gas? And as the continent
moves away from the Kremlin's energy supply, what will the impact
be? Helen Thompson, professor of Political Economy at the
University of Cambridge and author of Disorder, joins Arthur Snell
to discuss the geopolitical fallout from Putin's invasion. We're
putting out irregular war bulletins covering different aspects of
the Ukraine crisis. You can support our work on the crowdfunding
app Patreon: doomsdaywatch.co.uk Resources to help the Ukrainian
people can be found here: https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/ “Out
of the West European reaction to the Suez crisis came the first
turn back to Soviet energy.” “Russia wanted to be an Eurasian
energy power, unlike the Soviet Union which was focused on Western
Europe.” “Before the Omicron variant last year, an energy
crisis was already beginning to take shape.” “Europe can’t go
back to the geopolitical complacency that dominated the continent
before Russia’s invasion.” DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented
by Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold.
