Abstract

. Despite the high level of technological and civilisational development of Western society, its prosperity and sustainability of development most directly depend on energy policy. Quite often, the field of energy security determines which countries are leading and decisive in the world economy and global competitiveness. The latest geopolitical events, namely the Russian military aggression on Ukraine's territory, showed that most European countries, including Russia itself, increasingly depend on individual energy resources. Such a situation creates serious challenges that must be promptly and effectively responded to. One of the most severe challenges is energy blackmail, which is purposefully implemented by the leadership of the Russian Federation to achieve its goals in Ukraine. The threat of destroying Ukraine's energy system is no less severe, and a humanitarian disaster may also follow in this European and Western-oriented country. Unable to defeat Ukraine on the battlefield, the Russian Federation is trying to force the Ukrainian leadership to agree to an actual capitulation by methodically destroying its energy sector. This shows that the European Union must be able to respond to the problems of its energy sector and provide support to its allies to guarantee energy security. In addition, this type of response must comply with international and national law.

欧盟能源安全的法律条件

尽管西方社会的技术和文明发展水平很高，但其繁荣和发展的可持续性最直接地取决于能源政策。能源安全领域往往决定着哪些国家在世界经济和全球竞争力中处于领先地位和决定性地位。最新的地缘政治事件，即俄罗斯对乌克兰领土的军事侵略，表明包括俄罗斯本身在内的大多数欧洲国家越来越依赖个人能源。这种情况带来了必须迅速有效应对的严重挑战。最严峻的挑战之一是能源讹诈，俄罗斯联邦领导层有意实施这一讹诈，以实现其在乌克兰的目标。摧毁乌克兰能源系统的威胁同样严重，在这个以欧洲和西方为导向的国家，人道主义灾难也可能随之而来。由于无法在战场上击败乌克兰，俄罗斯联邦正试图通过有条不紊地摧毁其能源部门，迫使乌克兰领导层同意实际投降。这表明，欧盟必须能够应对其能源部门的问题，并为其盟友提供支持，以保障能源安全。此外，这类回应必须符合国际法和国内法。

期刊介绍： ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES ISSN 2345-0282 (online) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, serving as a platform to foster multi/interdisciplinary innovations that bring together the research communities and the end-users being affected. It is where theory meets practice, evident in the authors being experts across the industrial value chain – including business visionaries, regulatory and standards bodies, and especially pan-European networking through public and private sector partnerships (PPPs). Accepted papers present outcomes of initiatives and findings across all fields of science and technology, especially social sciences and humanities. Multi/interdisciplinary approach is encouraged. Recent additions to the already well-accomplished editorial board includes experts from the energy and information and communication technologies (ICT) sectors, particularly focused on advances to the state of the arts in environmental sustainability developments. This journal publishes original research papers that are rich with case studies of modern demonstrations, presenting innovative solutions to socio-economic and socio-technical problems that plague modern societies. It is a journal that is positioned as collaborative platform where theory meets practice, which is accomplished by publishing authors who’ve uncovered new linkages between data formulation and the underpinning theories, cases, observations, and validated hypotheses arising from the analysis of that data. ESI journal scope includes as well a particular focus on the business development side of smart electricity grids regarding financial or innovative technological aspects surrounding: renewable production, energy storage and management, construction materials, retrofitting, urban planning, and the trading of actors within emerging markets affected by energy supply and demand tradeoff.
