The UK plans to ban services for Russian liquefied natural gas exports, including shipping and insurance.
Britain's Foreign Office statement ahead of the G7 meeting:
"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.
⏳Time to fully implement the #EUMethaneRegulation and #PhaseOutFossilGas !

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.

Our Brussels team has been pushing EU leaders this week to speed up the exit from Russian LNG & fossil fuels. Stronger #REPowerEU means drying up Putin’s war chest and ending his war faster.

"So we are banning imports of Russian LNG into European markets. It is time to turn off the tap," von der Leyen said:

Ok, its time for Europe to walk the talk now, not in 2027 or 2028. That's why we protest.

Today, Razom We Stand + 60 orgs sent an open letter to #EU leaders: close the deadly loophole in sanctions and ban Russian #LNG in the 19th package.

The Kremlin earned €931B from fossil fuels since 2022.
Europe must act with strength and end Russian LNG now.

Russia's war against the #EuropeanUnion now enters a new phase with a direct attack. The response must be bone-crushing — the EU still has a lot to do on the #sanctions front to cut Kremlin's #fossilfuels lifeline.

Is this just business? A British-registered shipping firm transported Russian gas cargoes to Europe, contributing an estimated €150m in taxes to the Kremlin last year.

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.

Every shipment of Russian LNG carries the cost of genocidal war and climate destruction. If Europe could cut off Gazprom, it can—and must—do the same with Novatek.

Why and how? Details in OpEd ⬇️
