3. THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN GAS WAR: LESSONS FOR EUROPE & THE U.S.
Monday, February 23, 2009, 12 Noon, The Heritage Foundation, Wash, D.C.
Heritage Lectures, The Heritage Foundation, Wash, D.C., February 11, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Russian and Ukrainian gas disputes have flared up at least twice before, most notably when Russia turned off gas supplies to
Ukraine in 2006 for three days. This recent gas war, however, lasted over two weeks and caused disruptions in 20 countries, forcing factories to shut down, and leaving households shivering and even persons freezing to death.
The crisis demonstrates Europe's strategic dependence on Russian gas and highlights the necessity to change this situation quickly. Despite Moscow's
lobbying efforts, this crisis represents a wakeup call to many Europeans who have begun calling for greater diversification of the energy sources, transit routes and increased coordination among capitals.
For Ukraine, the crisis clearly illustrates the need to modernize its energy sector, fight corruption and opacity, and deepen reform. Not surprisingly, according to the International Energy Agency, this crisis has damaged Russia's reputation as a reliable energy supplier. It also hurt Ukraine's position as the principal gas transit state.
[1] What does this gas war tell us about Russia's role as an energy supplier and Europe's dependency as its largest customer?
[2] Will Europe return to business as usual with Russia? What are the major lessons learned for Europe?
[3] What does this crisis tell us about Ukraine as a transit country?
[4] Will shady middlemen companies remain in the Russian-Ukrainian gas trade in Russia and Ukraine's new gas deal?
[5] What is going to happen to the Nabucco project, a principal alternative to the Russian gas supplies?
[6] Finally, what, if any, lessons are there for the United States and what are the implications to U.S. policy?

LONDON - It is clear that, with all the business challenges you are currently facing, the 5th annual Ukrainian Investment Summit, taking place in London on March 9-11, at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, will be more productive and timely than ever before.

Members of the Speaker Faculty include: Sir Howard Davies, Director, London School of Economics; Natalya Korolevska, Chair, Committee for Industrial & Regulatory Policy, Verkhovna Rada; Alan Clark, Managing Director, Europe, SABMiller; Anatoliy Girshfeld, President, UPEC Industrial Group;

As Daniela Rulf, Associate Director at UBS, put it this year: “The majority of Ukraine’s business ‘who’s who’ gathered in one place, easy to access and open to talks and business and opportunities”.
As always, the Summit takes place over 3 days and will be a mixture of plenary and streamed sessions, panel discussions and debates, VIP and guest ‘out-of-the-box’ speakers and live onstage interviews.
BUSINESS ISSUES AND HOTTEST INDUSTRY SECTORS
Sessions will cover the most topical business issues and the hottest industry sectors, including a Macroeconomic Overview, the Investment Climate, the Impact of WTO Accession, Overcoming The Challenges Of The Global Liquidity And Credit Crunch, Corporate Finance in challenging conditions, M&A, Capital Markets, Banking, Real Estate, Retail, Metals & Mining & Infrastructure with a focus on Euro-2012 preparations.

LONDON - The insurance sector is directly related to the well-being of a nation and the effective functioning of the banking system. The global liquidity crisis has impacted the Ukrainian economy and many top managers are already preparing for new working conditions and are currently restructuring their companies’ activities as effectively as possible.
However, in order to put such plans into action, it is imperative to possess all the necessary and up-to-date information, practical experience, useful contacts, and, of course, capital. This is why the Adam Smith Institute will be holding 2nd Annual Ukrainian Insurance Forum, which will take place on 2-3 June in Kyiv.
The Ukrainian Insurance Forum, which in its first year gathered over 200 top-level management representatives from 15 countries around the world, has secured the reputation of a business platform for the most senior managers of insurance companies, analysts, financiers and bankers. This year the goal of the Forum is to collectively find ways to develop and grow further in these difficult times.
The 2009 forum programme will focus on the following issues:
An overview of legislative initiatives and development scenarios in the Ukrainian insurance sector.
Development scenarios for insurance companies in the next two years.
Placement of insurance assets and formulation of reserves during a financial and economic crisis.
Prospects of redistribution and consolidation in the Ukrainian insurance market.
Raising the efficiency of existing sales channels and the experience of introducing loyalty programmes
Analysis of promising segments of the Ukrainian insurance market.
The future of Life Insurance in Ukraine.
