Unveiling Stricter Sanctions on Russia’s Fossil Fuels and Arctic LNG Expansion

Special report from Berlin

by Maksym Gardus, Razom We Stand

We are thrilled to announce that Razom We Stand is now a proud member of Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe, Europe's foremost NGO coalition committed to combating perilous climate change.

Ukraine's post-war recovery could create more than 4.2 million jobs if green principles of recovery in only five sectors: transportation, energy healthcare, education, and water supply.

We are looking for a creative thinker with a proven track record of effecting change, possessing a strong strategic sense and an understanding of global power dynamics.

"As we stand on the precipice of a changing world, we must recognize that our voices hold the power to drive change. The events of this week during New York Climate Week have shown us the strength of our collective determination, pushing us to confront critical issues that demand immediate attention. In New York City, marching with tens of thousands of strong, powerful climate activists from across the globe, I had the clear sensation that we are winning!"

There is simply no excuse for Western governments not acting to defuse Russia's gas expansion in the Arctic.

In the wake of continuous pressure exerted by Razom We Stand, the week beginning September 11, 2023, witnessed encouraging developments from both the US State Department and the EU Commission in their pursuit of imposing further sanctions on Russian oil and gas.

In December 2022, UN Secretary-General António Guterres unveiled plans to host the UN Climate Ambition Summit in September 2023, two months prior COP28 in UAE.

This year, the British think tank Carbon Tracker plans to launch a global energy data portal and new ratings and indicators tool for policy makers, financials and industry—the Financial Energy Transition index (FETi). FETi is designed to track and measure the credibility of country-specific energy transition actions and plans. It will create actionable indicators and set standards to forward the energy transition, particularly for economies stuck in transition.

Trends in Europe's use of Russian Liquefied natural gas (LNG), continue to impress. And not in a positive way. 

EU countries, led by Belgium, France, and Spain, have imported Russian LNG representing approximately $20 billion in revenue, since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Are you passionate about driving social change and want to engage Ukrainians worldwide to take action and advance climate action? Join Razom We Stand, formerly known as the #StandWithUkraine campaign, founded by Ukrainian climate and peace activists. Our mission is to isolate and constrict Russia's fossil fuel industry, ending the war in Ukraine and accelerating Europe's transition to renewable energy.

This position is remote and full-time.

A few months ago, at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London, the European Union announced huge financial support for Ukraine for the period 2024-2027 to help the country recover from the devastating effects of the war.

Razom We Stand (formerly #StandWithUkraine campaign) seeks a Communication Specialist with a primary focus on traditional media to increase the campaign’s exposure in the press, play a supporting role in its social media growth, and boost overall reach of campaign activities.

Razom We Stand strongly condemns the global push for gas infrastructure expansion, including LNG terminals, given the dire environmental and climate consequences, as well as financial risks involved in creating stranded assets. With excess windfall profits stemming from market volatility worsened by Putin’s brutal invasion in Ukraine, the gas industry must be subject to taxation and regulation, not supported with public subsidies for their expansion plans.

Recently, on June 20, the European Union approved the long-awaited 11th package of sanctions against Russia, while omitting the embargo on russian LNG or even any mention of import restrictions.

The Ukraine Recovery Conference, which took place on 21-22 June 2023 in London, a continuation of its predecessor - the URC 2022 in Lugano, gathered many times more participants and friends of Ukraine who are ready to work together to rebuild it after the war. A spectacular 1,000 public and private sector decision makers attended, from 59 countries, 33 international organisations, over 400 businesses and 130 civil society organisations.

During a high-profile conference on Ukraine's recovery in London, the European Union approved the long-awaited 11th package of sanctions against Russia. EU ambassadors struggled for weeks to reach a consensus, especially for Greece and Hungary to support the final agreement. 

On June 20th, Razom We Stand with the support from London Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized a high-level side event in London, featuring a dozen speakers, which showcased Ukraine's vast renewable energy potential. Event entitled "Strategic Deployment of Renewable Energy in Ukraine: Investing in Energy Security" took place in the run up to the highly anticipated Ukraine Recovery Conference 2023 (URC-2023).

The Ukraine Recovery Conference is dedicated to Ukraine's transformation and was symbolically launched in London in 2017 as the Ukraine Reform Conference.

The URC 2023 will focus on mobilising international support for Ukraine's economic and social stabilisation and recovery from the effects of war, including through emergency assistance for immediate needs and financing private sector participation in the reconstruction process.

International conferences aimed at supporting reforms in Ukraine have been held on an annual basis since 2017. The Ukraine Reform Conference is an annual high-level political event held in the UK, Canada, Denmark and Lithuania that allows Ukraine to highlight its reforms progress and discuss the next reform priorities.  
However, Russia's war against Ukraine has raised a number of issues that need to be addressed. To this end, the international community has come together to create a platform for discussing Ukraine's recovery.

Monitoring of recorded losses from the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP (as of 09 June 2023)

The latest war crime committed by russian terrorists involved blowing up the Kakhovka dam on Tuesday 6th of June, leaving an enormous environmental catastrophe. According to official information 30 towns and villages in Kherson region have been flooded, supply of freshwater and electricity have been disrupted. In addition the region is under constant shelling by the russian army.

G7 leaders pledge billions of aid to Ukraine with one hand, and continue zealously buying Russian fossil fuels with the other. The geopolitical landscape is now more than ever under the control of natural gas. The G7 Hiroshima Summit, which took place from May 19th to 21st, has only further confirmed that the worldwide addiction to fossil gas is the most challenging to eradicate on a global scale.

On the anniversary of Russia's fossil-fueled invasion of Ukraine, which is trying to destroy the democratic system in the world and disrupt the development of renewable energy sources, provoking significant energy poverty and further exposing most vulnerable people to adverse impacts of climate change, Razom We Stand launched in Ukraine Re-energy Network.

The annual Earth Day, a celebration of the beginning of the modern environmental movement, is taking place this Saturday 22 April, 2023. This year it goes under the theme “Invest in Our Planet” and is calling for mobilization of public and private capital for investments in renewables. Using this opportunity we join our voice and call on the US and G7 to support deployment of decentralized renewable energy solutions in Ukraine as part of emergency aid.
