Josh Rudolph is the senior fellow and head of the malign finance and corruption team at the Alliance for Securing Democracy at the German Marshall Fund. Ambassador Norman Eisen is a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institute. As Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces gets underway, the country’s allies must now help plot a separate counteroffensive — one that will be needed to beat another longtime nemesis of the Ukrainian people: oligarchs and grand corruption. A small group of businessmen — many of whom became fabulously wealthy by manipulating the process of privatizing enormous companies previously owned by the Soviet state — often consolidated control over weak governments through political maneuvers like buying media conglomerates, bankrolling political parties, bribing judges, blackmailing prosecutors and underwriting vast networks of patronage, which extend from lawmakers and ministers in Kyiv to governors and bureaucrats throughout t...

An increasing number of families and individuals are facing energy poverty and social exclusion, while inequalities are increasing rapidly. We need to respond to this acute social crisis, and we must prepare a just transition to a climate-neutral economy. Achieving a more social Europe is a formidable challenge that should be central in all the Union’s actions.Governments have been slow or unwilling to respond to the social crisis, and no ambitious plan has been put forward.Governments have been slow or unwilling to respond to the social crisis, and no ambitious plan has been put forward.

The race is on to revolutionize the fight against the climate crisis. And for Drax, carbon removals are seen as a critical tool.Renewable energy company Drax is positioning itself as a global leader in carbon removals using bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Currently the UK’s largest renewable energy provider by output, Drax was one of the first companies in the world to set the lofty goal of becoming carbon negative — removing more emissions from the atmosphere than it creates — by 2030. Over the past decade Drax has worked toward this goal, while supporting energy security in the U.K., by converting its coal generation units in Yorkshire to renewable biomass made from sustainably sourced wood pellets. Now, Drax is focused on the development of its global BECCS projects.“BECCS is unique because it delivers reliable renewable power — essential for energy security — as well as carbon removals, which the world needs to reach net zero. No other readily available techno...
