#Greece is blocking a new EU sanctions package targeting Russian #LNG, with critics accusing Athens of protecting shipping interests linked to #Dynagas, owned by Greek magnate George Prokopiou 1/1 👇

Ireland has asked EU member states to consider guidance on implementing the #EUMethaneRegulation amid pressure from major gas exporters to weaken the rules 👇

Two sanctioned tankers, Glory Ocean and Bright Ocean, are carrying critical modules for Russia's Arctic gas projects through EU and UK waters toward Belokamenka. Sanctions only work if they're enforced. Europe still has time to stop these shipments before they reach port 👇

Razom We Stand is proud to join 100+ civil society organisations calling on UN Member States to build just, equitable, and responsible mineral value chains. For Ukraine, reconstruction is an opportunity to ensure critical minerals are governed with transparency, and long-term public benefit 👇

The EU’s failure to agree on an oil price cap before 15 July risks giving the Kremlin an unnecessary financial boost. The cap could rise from $44.10 to around $58/barrel, weakening sanctions at a time when #Ukraine needs stronger support 👇

ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... Razom We Stand contributed to the @EU_Commission consultation on the future European Critical Raw Materials Centre, sharing lessons from #Ukraine 👇

Methane is one of the fastest, cheapest ways to slow global warming. As the EU Methane Regulation faces pressure from fossil fuel exporters, the evidence is clear: 70% of #methane emissions from fossil fuels can be cut with existing technologies, according to the IEA.

UK #sanctions still allow Russian oil to enter global fuel supplies. A loophole allows Russian crude to be refined in third countries and sold as non-Russian fuel. Svitlana Romanko, executive director of Razom We Stand, said the refining loophole was "not a loophole – it's a highway." 👇

Today in Kyiv, at a KSE discussion with David O’Sullivan, International Special Envoy for the Implementation of EU Sanctions, we called on the EU to strengthen #sanctions on Russia’s #energy sector, especially Arctic #LNG projects 👇

🚨The EU needs to quit fossil gas 🚨 With a coalition of over 40 civil society organisations, we are urging the EU for a fossil gas exit strategy, with annual binding gas demand reduction targets of 7-8%, an end to LNG imports, and strong enforcement of the EU methane rules 👉https://l1nq.com/iyvry3r

Greek shipping companies earned at least $3.8B transporting Russian #oil over the past three years, helping fuel Kremlin revenues despite G7 efforts to curb them. @financialtimes.com

Two sanctioned, false-flagged vessels, GLORY OCEAN (IMO 9934498) and BRIGHT OCEAN (IMO 9830769), are entering European waters with sanctioned Chinese-built modules for Russia’s #LNG project 👇

Europe's clean #energy transition depends on where its critical raw materials come from. As the EU seeks to diversify beyond China, Ukraine has an opportunity to build a mineral sector grounded in transparency, strong institutions and good governance, not just extraction.

Overnight, Russian drone and missile strikes on Kyiv killed 20 civilians in their homes. Meanwhile, reports say the Russian Arc7 #LNG tanker Rudolf Samoylovich is undergoing maintenance in Denmark, raising concerns about ongoing support for Russia’s LNG exports.

Razom We Stand joined 200+ civil society organisations in endorsing The Gdańsk Common Message at #URC2026. Ukraine's recovery must be built with civil society. We call for meaningful public participation and transparent, inclusive recovery. #URC2026CSF

Every day, Ukraine faces devastating attacks. Yet in 2026, the UK undermines its decisive #sanctions on Russia by granting exemptions that benefit Russian LNG projects such as Sakhalin-2, where UK services cover half of its #LNG fleet. 👇

By 2025, Russian petroleum oil’s share in #EU imports fell from 25% to 2% (9.7m tonnes), according to the European Commission 👇

Russia’s energy company Novatek urgently needs more tankers for Arctic LNG 2 — a flagship project hit by US and EU sanctions and critical to Russia’s plans to expand Arctic gas exports. Novatek is now reportedly in talks to acquire LNG tankers from Japan’s MOL and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean.

At our #URC2026 side event we explored how microgrids and decentralised renewable energy can protect critical infrastructure accelerating Ukraine's EU integration and clean energy transition. Ukraine's energy recovery is Europe's energy security. #EnergySecurity #UkraineRecovery #RenewableEnergy

Russia's share of EU #gas imports fell from 51% in 2019 to 12% in 2025. Yet Russia remains the EU's third-largest gas supplier, with ~36 bcm still entering the European market. Europe has proven that diversification is possible 👇

🇷🇺 NEW | Monthly analysis of Russian fossil fuel exports & sanctions 📈In May 2026, Russia’s fossil fuel export revenues rose 2% MoM to EUR 726mn per day despite volumes remaining stable 🚢Russia's crude oil export revenues grew 1% MoM to EUR 362 mn per day; volumes rose by 8%

Russia struck Kyiv again overnight, damaging the #Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, killing at least 5 people and injuring 35. In May alone, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain, France, and Belgium paid Russia €2 billion for fossil fuels. Europe's words must be matched by action. Adopt the 21st #sanctions package now.

Europe could have legally quit Russian LNG back in October. It kept buying—€7.2 billion worth in 2025, enough for about five years of the Iskander-M missiles striking Ukraine. Only Germany has even asked to take the exit, RazomWeStand report says: euromaidanpress.com/2026/06/11/e...

Europe is entering a new phase in the critical minerals race. EU stockpiles, EU–US cooperation, and G7 moves to reduce dependency on China show a clear shift. Critical minerals are now strategic assets for defence, EVs, and #energy 👇

True security starts with #energy security. Europe must end its dependence on fossil fuels that fuel wars and instability. In Ukraine, we see the consequences every day. At #EUSEW2026, we highlighted #REPowerEU and welcomed the EU’s permanent ban on Russian gas as a key step forward 👇

The EU's coal ban (Aug 2022) was the first full break from a Russian #energy commodity: imports fell to zero, while alternatives filled the gap. Still, indirect links remain, some Kazakh coal transits via Russian ports under exemptions, generating handling revenues.

🎤 Our Executive Director & Founder, Svitlana Romanko, will speak at 2 sessions at #EUSEW2026: 📅 Tue 9 June | 15:30–17:00 REPowerEU: From Russian fossil fuels to energy independence & sustainability 📅 Wed 10 June | 15:30–17:00 How accelerating the energy transition improves Europe’s security 👇

Did you know? Ukraine holds Europe’s largest graphite reserves (~17.9M tons) — a key material for EV batteries ⚡️🔋 👇

Europe has structurally cut Russian fossil fuel imports since 2022, with pipeline flows reduced and Ukrainian transit ending in 2025. Russian gas now accounts for 12% of EU natural #gas imports, mainly via TurkStream and #LNG. Read our new report 👇 razomwestand.com/new-report-e...

New research: UK insurers and fleet managers handled over 10 million tonnes of Russian LNG in the six months between the UK's announcement of its plan for a maritime LNG services ban and its implementation, with Yamal LNG and Sakhalin 2 project exemptions in 2026. razomwestand.com/how-the-uk-a...

🚨 Fayard A/S, a Danish Shipyard, May Be About to Give Russia’s Arctic LNG Fleet One Last European Repair Window – New Urgewald Analysis in the @financialtimes.com Today bit.ly/4dHEfBi

This week, Razom We Stand met with representatives of Ukraine’s oil, gas & coal sectors, with support from the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, under the project “Supporting the implementation of the EU Methane Regulation in Ukraine.”

At Ukraine Winter: The Way Forward at Norway House in Brussels, we discussed how Ukraine’s wartime experience is reshaping Europe’s energy future. Recovery must go beyond rebuilding, toward resilient, decentralised clean energy systems. @norwayeu.norway.no

Europe’s energy transition now depends heavily on secure access to critical raw materials 👇 @climateworks.org

A new report by Global Energy Monitor says some European countries are considering sending equipment from decommissioned coal plants to Ukraine to replace capacity damaged by Russian strikes.

We welcome the UK’s new ban on maritime services for Russian #LNG, an important step in support of Ukraine. But the Sakhalin-2 exemption until 2027 remains unjustified. It has nothing to do with European energy security and will continue funding Russia’s war budget. Every loophole costs lives.

🚨 Scandal New revelations from a NDR.de investigation show that Germany’s state-owned firm SEFE actively pushed to restart Russian LNG deliveries in 2023—despite Russia’s war against Ukraine and after a year-long halt following Kremlin sanctions. Egbert Laege of SEFE and Leonid Mikhelson of Novatek

At the “Energy Security Conference: Lessons from Ukraine” in Germany, Razom We Stand discussed with Canada’s Deputy Minister of Natural Resources, Greg Orencsak, how to strengthen renewable energy narratives at the #G7 level. @jasonkirkpatrick.bsky.social

4 years since the EU launched the #REPowerEU Plan. The EU has cut Russian gas imports from 45% to 12% and oil from 27% to 2%, but dependence is not fully gone. It’s time to end the remaining ties to fossil fuels and speed up the shift to renewable energy, not by adding new suppliers.

Methane policy is becoming a core part of Europe’s #energy security strategy. Reducing #methane leaks and ending routine gas flaring in Ukraine could unlock major energy gains and deliver up to €11B in economic benefits over the next decade 👇

Devastating night for #Ukraine: at least 5 killed and 40+ injured, incl. children, after Russia’s drone and missile strike on Kyiv. At the same time EU countries bought €1.6B in Russian fossil fuels in April. Stronger #sanctions are urgently needed.

Recently Razom We Stand joined an important discussion in Brussels during the meeting of organisations working on implementing the EU Methane Regulation. @umwelthilfe.bsky.social @envdefensefund.bsky.social

Myth: Europe needs more gas to stay secure. Reality: Fossil fuel dependence is the real risk. 🔒 🧵👇 1/7

Monsters profit from new crimes. In April 2026, 5 EU importers paid Russia €1.6B for fossil fuels (@creacleanair.bsky.social). France led, then Hungary, Belgium, and Spain. Ukraine shot down 33,000+ Russian drones in March. This money helps fund attacks. Europe needs tougher #sanctions.

In April 2026, the five largest EU importers of Russian fossil fuels paid Russia a combined €1.6 billion, acc. to @creacleanair.bsky.social. The EU’s ban on short-term LNG contracts is a step forward, but the core problem remains long-term contracts. The 21st package needs to close this now.
