EU nations have now spent an estimated 60 billion euros on Russian coal, oil, and fossil gas since the country launched its war of aggression against Ukraine over 100 days ago.
Time and time again we see fossil fuels create conflict. To stand with Ukraine, ending Russian coal, oil, and fossil gas use is an urgent priority, and to safeguard peace and our climate for all, we have to end all fossil fuel use as soon as possible.
EU nations continue to import an estimated EUR600 million worth of coal, oil, and fossil gas from Russia per day, spending more than EUR9 billion on Russian fossil fuels since it invaded Ukraine on 24 February, according to a new tracking tool launched by Europe Beyond Coal today.
The Europe Beyond Coal coalition and its partner organisations stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people, and condemn Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked, unconscionable war. This attack by the Russian leadership is leading to a devastating loss of lives, and a humanitarian and refugee crisis in Ukraine.
