Café Kyiv 2025: Powering Through Crisis: Lessons from last Winter and the Importance of Energy Security

On March 11th, Café Kyiv took place in Berlin. Low Carbon Ukraine, in cooperation with the Centre for Liberal Modernity, organised a panel discussion on energy security.

Energy at the forefront of the war
Since the beginning of the war, energy stands at the forefront of the war. Russia targets Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with particular vehemence. Our panel focused on the lessons learned from the outgoing winter and what Ukraine and her partners can do to ensure and maintain national energy security, one of the most critical issues regarding economic recovery.
