On 24 February 2022 Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Ukraine, sparking the first international war in Europe since WWII and precipitating an economic shock that reverberated across the global economy. Now, one year since Russia instigated the war in Ukraine, it has become bogged down in an interminable conflict as the Ukrainian military is supported with weapons and equipment from European and NATO-aligned countries. After responding with an unprecedented level of sanctions, Europe has scrambled to reduce its reliance on Russian gas by both accelerating its energy transition and, in some controversial instances, opening new coal mines. As the economic shock of the war fuelled already rising inflation, the global economy has yet to stabilise itself as the war looks set to continue through 2023. Join International Chamber of Commerce Secretary General John Denton and CEDA’s Melinda Cilento to discuss the global geopolitical and economic outlook one year on from the start of the war in Ukraine.
