The weaponisation of energy by Russia before and after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine has underscored the vulnerability of Europe's dependence on imported fossil fuels. This has catalysed a growing demand for a transition towards green energy, characterised by local sustainable energy productive and reduced vulnerability to energy market manipulation by external actors. Central to this transition is the European Green Deal, a comprehensive set of policy measures aimed at enabling the European Union to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This thesis investigated the impact of Russia's energy weaponisation and the war in Ukraine on the EU’s policy regarding the transition to clean and renewable energy sources, employing a conceptual framework of securitization using discourse analysis as the analytical framework. The primary objective was to assess whether the weaponisation of energy by Russia following the invasion of Ukraine has elevated the transition to clean energy from a climate sustainability issue to a security imperative for the European Union. Through a comprehensive analysis of European Commission’s policy proposals, this paper determined that the European Commission has successfully securitised the issue by framing Russian weaponisation of energy supply as an existential threat to be resolved with extraordinary measures aimed at expansion of clean energy transition initiatives in the EU. The continued securitisation of the European Green Deal may thus be crucial to ensuring the success of the clean energy transition in the European Union.
Impact of the sovereignization of the Russian internet segment on political opposition

The digital revolution transformed the way in which people interact with one another and the state and redefined our means and manners of communication. This thesis examines the impact that internet restrictions can have on political activity using the example of Russia’s “sovereign Internet” legislation and its impact on Russia’s political opposition. The research touches upon the framework of digital sovereignization, its possible effects on “non-systemic” opposition, and potential impact on the Internet as a whole. The hypothesis of this work was largely proven correct following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which served as a catalyst for digital sovereignization processes in the Russian Federation. The findings indicate the factors that could be used by state authorities to determine which online platforms constitute the highest risks for a political regime and assess the likelihood of further developments. The data used and assessed within the first chapter of this work was largely compiled prior to the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on February 24th 2022 and reflects the author’s estimates of the potential impact of different sovereignization scenarios on Russia’s “non-systemic” opposition. The purpose of the second chapter was to document the effects of the war on Russia’s efforts at Internet sovereignization, compare them to the prognoses made in the first chapter of the work, and evaluate the differences between the author’s prognoses and practical implementation.
