UK's public money should support energy transition and renewables, not Putin's friends and business partners.
As Ukrainians freeze without power due to Russian attacks, UK schools are buying #gas from #TotalEnergies, a company with ties to Russian fossil fuels. This is an absolute shock.

British public bodies must cancel these contracts with Total, and stop funding Russia’s war.

Budapest claims the EU overstepped its powers in REPowerEU. The treaties, case law, and Hungary's own choices tell a different story.

Time to actually walk the talk on sanctions.
In Dec 2025, the 5 largest EU importers of Russian fossil fuels paid €1.4B. France & Spain increased #LNG imports by 18% & 27%. The EU must enforce #sanctions without compromise and cut off funding for Russia’s war economy.

Highlight: analysis by the @creacleanair.bsky.social (CREA), featured in POLITICO, shows that over the last 3 years, the UK imported £1.6 billion worth of "laundered" oil products made with Russian oil at refineries in India and Turkey.

The U.K. has imported £4 billion of oil products, like jet fuel, made in Indian and Turkish refineries run on Russian crude oil, analysis reveals — but a promised ban is still months away.

The UK plans to ban services for Russian liquefied natural gas exports, including shipping and insurance.

"The ban [on services for LNG exports] will be phased in over 2026 in lockstep with our European partners".

Despite announced in the 19th sanctions package EU ban on imports of #RussianLNG, supercooled gas cargoes from #Yamal are still reaching EU, generating €3.6 billion in revenue in the past 9 months. This sent €67.7 million in tax to the Kremlin's war chest – funding the killer drones and missiles.
New report from Razom We Stand: “Yamal LNG: Europe’s Energy Dilemma” exposes how EU imports of Russian #LNG still fund the Kremlin’s war on Ukraine. The EU remains the largest Russian LNG buyer; it's time to stop EU funding of war on Ukraine!

Today, as #COP30 kicks off, #Ukraine has made a bold move that speaks volumes more than pledges: it has imposed #sanctions on key Russian fossil fuel projects in the #Arctic and their enablers. Time to start cleaning up the mess caused by decades of the Kremlin's imperial plunder in the region.

Getting a ban on Russian LNG imports to the EU was a long struggle. We have a win, but it's not over yet. Strong #REPowerEU Regulation is needed to put final nails into the coffins of Russian oil and gas exports.
Since the full-scale invasion, the EU has paid €215 billion into the Kremlin’s war chest via fossil fuel imports, €106 billion in Russian gas alone.
The new ban on Russian #LNG is a win.
But Europe must go further: no euro should fuel Putin’s war machine.

Time for Europe to fully recognize #TheCostOfMethane and end the addiction to fossil gas from autocratic regimes that is fueling war and climate breakdown.
🔥Europe’s fossil gas imports are fuelling war and driving environmental destruction! 🇺🇦 The Ukrainian experience is revealing the true cost of Europe’s fossil gas addiction.

At the entrance of the Zeebrugge LNG terminal, Greenpeace activists installed a 10-metre-long inflatable, portraying Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump on a gas tanker.

@greenpeace.eu is calling to ban Russian LNG as part of the 19th EU sanctions package and also to avoid a new lock-in to US LNG.

The EU's 17th #sanctions package is set to target 200 shadow fleet tankers, but Russia uses over 866 ships to dodge the oil price cap.

No Russian #LNG or fossil gas tankers are listed, despite rising imports that fund war on Ukraine.

Sanctions must go further to create real pressure!

We welcome the UK's new #sanctions package targeting Russia's shadow fleet—over 100 tankers fueling Putin's war and endangering European waters. But the EU and UK must do more, and close all loopholes that let Russia profit from fossil fuels.
