AGGRESSION ON UKRAINE
IMPACTED THE 3 SEAS
AND REST OF EU-27
COUNTRIES?
The study called The tumultuous 2022: how has Russia’s aggression on Ukraine impacted the 3 Seas and Rest of EU-27 countries? presents a collation of key energy sector and economic data on the Three Seas countries compared with Rest of EU-27 countries.
