Columbia Energy Exchange host Jason Bordoff sits down with Dr. Tatiana Mitrova, a fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy, to discuss Russia and the global energy sector including topics such as: Russia’s compliance with OPEC oil production cuts and the future of the agreement; Gazprom’s response to changes in the global gas market; The future of clean energy in Russia; and European energy security and the Nordstream-2 pipeline.
