LibMod Policy Paper: Account­able Gover­nance in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova

The Ukrainian energy system is at the brink of collapse. Expert Oleksandr Vizir makes concrete proposals and outlines a plan to save the energy infra­struc­ture of the country. Measures include rapid devel­op­ment of new gener­a­tion capac­i­ties as well as control­ling state energy companies.

Despite Chan­cellor Scholz’ Zeit­en­wende, Germany’s actions since the Russian invasion of Ukraine have been dominated by hesitancy. The govern­ment often acts only when the situation on the battle­field is dramatic – or waits for decisions from Wash­ington. Berlin seemingly hopes for an eventual ceasefire. But this only raises the threat of an “eternal provi­sional arrange­ment”, similar to the Cold War-era division of Germany, writes Nico Lange.

The Russian war of aggres­sion against Ukraine also has far-reaching conse­quences for Moldova. Security expert Dumitru Minzarari analyzes the effects of Russian propa­ganda, political impli­ca­tions of the war in the run-up to the pres­i­den­tial elections, and the obstacles on the path to EU integration.
