Abstract

Cooperation in the energy sector is one of the areas for strategic cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey. The interests of both countries in the field of energy are similar: the need to diversify energy sources, ensure security of energy supply, active use of own transit potential, exploration and production of its own energy resources. Relations in this direction include the following areas: production and distribution of crude oil, natural gas, coal and metal ores, exchange of technologies, construction of pipelines and oil terminals, cooperation in the development of alternative energy sources and atoms for peace. The cooperation was established in 1986, when the Agreement was concluded between the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Government of the Socialist Republic of Romania on the transit of Soviet natural gas through the territory of the Socialist Republic of Romania to Turkey, Greece and other countries. The year of 2020 became a landmark for Turkey, as the TurkStream gas pipeline (the first branch) to South-Eastern Europe was launched, and gas deposits were found in the Black Sea. As a result, Turkey ceased to be dependent on Ukrainian gas for gas transportation, and Ukraine’s position in cooperation with Turkey became weaker. At present, cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey (on the part of energy) in the use of a peaceful atom, the development and use of alternative energy sources is promising, but the cooperation in the area of oil and gas transportation has turned out to be most failed for Ukraine that demonstrates Turkey’s dominant position concerning Ukraine in the field of gas transportation in the Black Sea region.
