The Ukrainian climate organization Razom We Stand, with the support of civil society groups, including DEMAS, from around the world, has signed a letter to the European Parliament members. They are calling for immediate action to make the sovereign decision to eliminate Russian fossil fuel imports sooner. This is crucial to stop the flow of funds to Russia, ending Putin’s war chest. Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the EU has shown courage, but incomplete sanctions have allowed significant financial support to continue flowing to Russia.
We urge every EU Member State to take decisive action now. Delaying or postponing a total embargo on Russian fossil fuels only prolongs the war, jeopardizes EU climate targets, and leads to further catastrophic losses in Ukraine. The EU must stop enabling the war financially and ensure EU taxpayer money does not fund destruction. Please read the letter and help spread this crucial message on social media
