The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the influence of the worsened security relations together with security threats to EU-Russia energy relations. The research method is an analysis of security strategies, Russian exports and EU demand for oil and natural gas imports. The hypothesis, claiming that a pragmatic approach will overcome political goals, was supported. Economic rationalities favouring cooperation will prevail over political confrontation resulting from competing interests in the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Syria. The reasons for the continuation of energy relations are the high degree of interdependence, long-term contracts, and high costs of seeking alternative suppliers and customers respectively.
