Title: Online Event on Nord Stream 2: What next for Ukraine’s European gas market integration and US partnership?

After the Biden administration waived congressionally mandated sanctions on Nord Stream AG, the company behind the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, the future of European gas transit and the implications for Ukraine, as well as bilateral relations with the US remain uncertain.

To understand the direction in which the US-Ukraine relationship will develop in upcoming months and how to mitigate the impact of these developments and turn them into a strength for the Ukrainian energy transition, Adam Smith Conferences will be hosting a webinar focusing on Nord Stream 2, the future of European gas transit and the implications for Ukraine.

The webinar, taking place on 6 July, will feature leading voices in Ukrainian energy and geopolitics, including:

  • Lana Zerkal, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Advisor to the Minister of Energy of Ukraine
  • John Herbst, Former US Ambassador to Ukraine, Director at the Atlantic Council
  • Andreas Umland, Research Fellow, Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs

The discussion will be moderated by Aura Sabadus, Senior Energy Journalist at ICIS who has been covering gas markets in Ukraine, Turkey and Romania for the past ten years.

Over the course of 90 minutes, Ukrainian and international experts will be brought together to examine what to expect in the short- to medium-term, what is Ukraine’s plan B for the period after 2024, how Ukraine will remain relevant in the wider European gas marker should transit be diverted to NS2, along with other important questions. The webinar will feature an extensive Q&A session where the audience will also have a chance to ask the panel their questions.

This free event will be streamed on Zoom and is part of a series of conferences focused on Ukraine organised by Adam Smith Conferences, one of the leading conference organisers in Eastern Europe. Click here [https://www.asc-webinars.com/nord-stream-2] to register for the event. Spaces are limited!
