Ukraine’s post-Crimea energy conundrum

In light of the recent tumultuous events in Crimea, what is Ukraine’s position on energy now? What would be the energy implications of a federalisation of Ukraine? And in the run-up to the next European Council in June, where the main topic will be energy security, what should the EU do to help? The panel will examine these and other questions in the context of uncertain prospects for Ukraine.
