Title NORD STREAM II: SECURITY IMPLICATIONS FOR UKRAINE

Author(s) Asad Abbas

Abstract ABSTRACT In contemporary era, energy trade and energy politics are going vis a vis. World powerful countries are always in efforts to dominate the energy trade and protect the energy routes to ensure their needs. However, politics on this field is also underway side by side. Nord Stream II is second of two Nord Stream I and Nord Stream II which is the first project by Russia to supply its gas to a European country Germany. This project is the one which is decreasing Russian and German reliance on Ukraine which served for long as Russian gas transit route. Thus, the project not only deprives Ukraine from huge economic benefits but allows Russia to seek its political ambitions in Ukraine which is the former Soviet Republic. Project is of great importance for Germany because it will fulfil Germany’s increasing energy needs. Whereas Ukraine, foresee this project as threat to its national security. After annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014 and then unrest in eastern parts of Ukraine has realized Ukraine that Russia by fulfilling energy needs of significant European countries will try to achieve its designs in Ukraine and has tried to securities this at local level. US and NATO both grasped the Russian ambitions and making an effort of collective securitization to refrain Russia from moving further in West. Russia on the other hand sees EU and NATO as main opponent want to further squeeze Russia. In this whole game Ukraine has become the battleground for East and West for New Cold War.
