ABSTRACT
In the last chapter, we provided an historical overview of how Ukraine’s energy markets developed in the first decade after independence, and of how they interrelated with the political battles and developments going on in the country. In this chapter, we ask ourselves: how did these developments reflect themselves in the management of energy dependency? To what extent were the energy diversification slogans proclaimed by every Ukrainian government after 1991 reflected in actual policy? To what extent did these slogans reflect actual intentions? Did these policies produce the intended results?
