Krull Corp.’s President Dr. Alexander Mirtchev, in an interview with Energy and Environment Television, analyzes the tilt in international energy security balances in the context of the transformational geopolitical and geo-economic changes after the end of the Cold War. The Russia-Ukraine gas dispute is a case in point. Mirtchev believes that it is not realistic to expect that energy suppliers like Russia would readily give up the geopolitical competitive advantage endowed by controlling energy resources.
