Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Russia is earning almost €1bn every day, selling oil and gas to Europe. Without a real embargo on Russian fossil fuels, the war in Ukraine will never end.
Stand with Ukraine! Full EU embargo on Russian oil & gas now!
To all EU Presidents, Prime Ministers and Parliaments and to the UK Prime Minister
Right now, 10 to 20 million barrels of Russian oil are arriving in Europe every week. Putin can still sell oil and gas directly to every country in Europe and earning nearly €1bn every day since the start of the war.
Every Euro Putin gets from European countries he spends on attacking Ukraine. Europe’s fossil fuel addiction is paying for weapons, the destruction of my country, and horrendous war crimes.
But you can decide to stop this, by enacting effective sanctions, and end Russia’s ability to wage war.
We are demanding that the European Union and UK:
- Ban the import of any fossil fuels from Russia.
- Stop financial organizations funding or servicing the Russian fossil fuel industry, or trading with companies that fund Russia’s war machine.
- Speed up the green transition and end oil and gas-fuelled conflicts around the world.
A peaceful, sustainable, democratic future is possible, free from Putin and other petro-dictators. The European Union must lead the way in creating it.
Thank you!
