During the three months of the Essay Contest “Ukraine’s Energy Security: What Does It Mean?” we received more than 100 works from young people from all over Ukraine! From July to October 2023, new stories were submitted almost daily and we became acquainted with the talented participants and their ideas and thoughts.
