TotalEnergies is directly related to the supplies of fuel for Russian warplanes killing civilians in Ukraine and levelling Ukrainian cities with the ground.
A Global Witness investigation reveals that a Siberian gas field joint-owned by French oil giant TotalEnergies has been providing oil to a refinery fuelling Russian warplanes throughout the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The investigation shows that gas condensate from Total’s Termokarstovoye field was transported across Russia for refining, before being shipped as jet fuel to Russian Air Force bases near Ukraine.
Those include bases for Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bombers. The pilots of these warplanes have been accused by international experts and the Ukrainian government of indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas.
TotalEnergies, unlike competitors, has not pledged to pull out of its joint ventures in Russia. Total has previously stated that their activities “are completely unrelated to the conduct of military operations by Russia in Ukraine”. However, now it is clear that this is not true.
Total owns 49% of TerNefteGaz, a company set up to operate the Termokarstovoye field, with Novatek owning the remainder. Total also owns 19.4% per cent of Novatek itself, giving the French company a majority economic interest in the joint venture.
TotalEnergies, pull out of Russia immediately to avoid being complicit in war crimes Russia is committing on daily basis using the fuel you help produce!
