On 24th February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin began a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine and demanded Kyiv’s army lay down its weapons, the largest conventional military attack in Europe since the Second World War.

Europe has been highly dependent on Russian pipeline gas for its energy supply for years; over 40 per cent of the region’s natural gas is imported from Russia. With the Ukraine crisis escalating and tougher sanctions being imposed on Russia by the west, the supply of Russian natural gas to Europe will most likely be halted, leading to fuel shortages for many Europeans.
