European Gas: Security of Supply (ON-DEMAND) - EGSS
Course Summary
European Gas: Security of Supply is an online training course that was first created in response to the events in January 2009 when Russia curtailed supplies into Ukraine and many parts of Europe. Ever since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia’s relationship with Ukraine has been unstable and highly politicised.
