Russia’s large-scale fossil fuel onshore and offshore extraction projects in the Arctic, along with the rapid militarization of the region, have implications not only for the war against Ukraine, which is mostly funded from the Kremlin’s fossil fuel revenues.

Achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement is impossible without a complete halt to these projects.

Od rozpoczęcia pełnoskalowej rosyjskiej inwazji ponad dwie trzecie konwencjonalnych mocy ukraińskiej energetyki zostało zniszczonych, zbombardowanych lub znalazło się pod kontrolą okupantów. W rezultacie doszło do potężnego zachwiania równowagi popytu i podaży, które w praktyce oznacza codzienne przerwy w dostawach prądu do ukraińskich miast.

Ukraine seems to have found an effective asymmetrical response to the massive waves of deadly missile attacks that Russia has unleashed against Ukrainian cities since early January. A number of Russian oil refineries and oil terminals have been hit with precision strikes, attributed to new Ukrainian long-range drones. By targeting fossil fuel exports—the financial lifeline of the Kremlin’s regime—this response has had an impact.

As world leaders gather in Davos for the World Economic Forum this week, Ukraine is reeling from a continuing massive wave of deadly missile attacks from Russia, resulting in more and more needless death and destruction. The tragic loss of human life, including hundreds of civilians and children, is unfortunately often paid for by cash sent to Russia from Europe and the U.S., who are shockingly still sending Moscow billions of dollars to pay for Russia's fossil fuel exports.

This monumental expansion benefits Russia's economy but poses a significant threat to the environment due to high methane-emissions in the LNG supply chain.
