Without Compromise: Can Ukraine power Europe?

Andre Martirosyan and Nargiz Mammadova 29th September 2026

Can Ukraine power Europe after the end of Russian gas transit? In the latest episode of Without Compromise, energy expert Dr Aura Sabadus examines Ukraine’s potential to become a major European energy hub while the war, as well as investment and reform challenges stand in its way.

For decades, Ukraine was an essential transit route carrying Russian gas to Europe. That role ended in January 2025, but Ukraine still possesses one of Europe’s largest gas-storage systems, an extensive pipeline network and growing electricity connections with neighbouring countries.

Dr Aura Sabadus is a leading specialist on the energy markets of Ukraine, Central and Eastern Europe and the wider Black Sea region at ICIS.
