Abstract: 

Status of Russia-Ukraine War (Two Years In):

Despite the imposition of "the strictest ever sanctions" in 2022-2023, Russia has managed to redirect energy exports and sustain hydrocarbon revenues rather effectively. There is a broader impact of sanctions on global trade and the emergence of shadow markets. The influence of pariah states and sanctioned entities on international energy trade is raising, as well as the role of OPEC+ activities and BRICS enlargement.

Geopolitical Changes and Instability:

Obviously we should examine the recent geopolitical shifts, including Russia-Ukraine, China-US, and Middle East dynamics. The global geopolitical order is changing, marking new extremely turbulent period. Geopolitics of traditional energy and geopolitics of the energy transition are components of this bigger picture (which includes also AI, military technologies, food and water security, geopolitics of climate change, etc.).
