Abstract

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has significantly strained relations between Russia and the European Union (EU) in the energy sector leading to severe turmoil. This crisis has further jeopardized the energy security of EU member states, particularly smaller countries such as Lithuania, which heavily relies on Russia for its energy resources. Nevertheless, even before this crisis, Lithuania’s energy security was already deemed inadequate despite the relatively favorable state of EU–Russia energy cooperation. This research paper aims to analyze the EU–Russia energy cooperation before and during the war. It also explores the implications of the EU–Russia energy cooperation and the Russia–Ukraine war on Lithuania’s energy security. This article concludes that with the start of the Russia–Ukraine war, the EU–Russia energy relation is experiencing a severe crisis. Before and during the ongoing Ukrainian crisis, Lithuania—compared to Western European states—received different and unexpected treatment from the EU, impacting its energy security.

欧盟与俄罗斯的能源合作:对立陶宛能源安全的影响
俄罗斯和乌克兰之间持续不断的战争使俄罗斯和欧盟(EU)之间在能源领域的关系严重紧张,导致了严重的动荡。这场危机进一步危及了欧盟成员国的能源安全,尤其是像立陶宛这样严重依赖俄罗斯能源资源的小国。然而,即使在此次危机之前,尽管欧盟与俄罗斯的能源合作状况相对良好,立陶宛的能源安全也已被认为是不充分的。本研究论文旨在分析战前和战时欧盟与俄罗斯的能源合作。本文还探讨了欧盟-俄罗斯能源合作和俄乌战争对立陶宛能源安全的影响。本文的结论是,随着俄乌战争的爆发,欧盟与俄罗斯的能源关系正在经历一场严重的危机。在乌克兰危机爆发之前和期间,立陶宛与西欧国家相比,受到了欧盟不同的、出乎意料的待遇,从而影响了其能源安全。
