🚨NEW PAPER🚨
We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This is wild, and topping the list is Raiffeisen Bank International. RBI currently earns nearly 50% of its profits from its Russian subsidiary, which has allegedly invested in Russian sovereign debt. But Austria’s Finance Ministry sees no problem here - and just announced it won't take action.
🚨 New research from @b4ukraine.org, Squeezing Putin, and the KSE Institute finds that international banks handed over >$1.2 billion in tax revenues to the Kremlin in 2024.
That's enough to finance over 65,000 contract soldiers for the Russian army.

The ECB adopted its first Climate Roadmap in 2021, but inflation has since limited its impact. Ahead of the ECB’s monetary policy strategy review, a coalition of civil society organisations therefore published a manifesto with 3 recommendations for a stronger Climate Roadmap. Read below 👇

A new study reveals that Russian LNG imports to Germany & other EU countries rose (!) last year, despite EU sanctions on Russian energy imports. A coherent anti-war strategy cannot focus on weapons exports alone - we need to radically eliminate Russian gas from the EU energy mix.
Trotz Angriffskrieges gegen die Ukraine: #Russland liefert 2024 so viel #LNG in die EU wie nie zuvor. Mit dem Kauf von 4,1 Mio. Tonnen spielt das deutsche, bundeseigene Unternehmen #SEFE eine zentrale Rolle. Wir brauchen dringend ein EU-weites Embargo!
