It’s now been almost a year and a half since Russia invaded Ukraine, and the impact of Putin’s war can be felt from the geopolitical landscape to the global economy.

Georgia Nakou, a features editor at MacroPolis, a specialist website focused on political and economic analysis of Greek affairs, joins Thanos Davelis to look at how Greece's energy policy has been affected by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent EU sanctions on Russia, and explore what this means as Greece’s government looks to maintain an ambitious energy and climate policy.
