Sustainable Development of Transport in the Context of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: Russian invasion caused a rapid reorientation of energy policy in the Member States of the European Union. Energycooperation with Russia is currently undesirable. A broad consensus has emerged on the need to reduce dependence on importsof Russian raw materials. In March 2022, the European Commission set a new priority — independence from supplies from Russia— so far, it was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants. The response to this challenge is primarily to accelerateinvestments in renewable energy and energy efficiency in accordance with the assumptions of the ‘Green Deal’. The subject of thisarticle is the political and economic situation in the European Union, shaped as a result of the military aggression of the RussianFederation against Ukraine. The aim of the work is to present the transport policy of the European Union in the pursuit of energyefficiency in this economic sector. The research problem was expressed in the form of the following question: What steps can theEuropean Union take to increase its energy resilience in the transport sector? The solution to the research problem was based on acritical analysis of the literature on the subject and the strategic documents of the European Union.
