DTEK Group calls for complete embargo of russian oil and gas

Russian aggression against Ukraine continues to be fueled by the continuing super profits from the sale of hydrocarbons. The current record prices for oil and gas strengthen the aggressor's confidence in the availability of financial resources for new cruise missiles against peaceful Ukrainian cities.

Meanwhile, the international community has launched consultations on an embargo on the purchase of russian oil.

On behalf of 250,000 Ukrainian power engineers, gas workers and miners, we ask you to protect the lives of our children by completely embargoing russian oil and gas. We are convinced that URALS and ESPO crude oil grades should become toxic, meaning there should be no possibility to resell even through intermediaries.

Such a complete embargo will not lead to turmoil in the Western world, as russian propaganda forecasts. There are enough producers in the world capable of increasing production and compensating for the loss of russian oil. There are also decisions at the government level on the use of strategic reserves.

With regard to gas, European countries have at least seven months to accumulate an alternative resource and transform their energy consumption before the new heating season.

We are convinced that this is the only way to force Russia to stop the war – to stop the killing of civilians, the destruction of houses, schools, kindergartens and hospitals.

The purchase of russian hydrocarbons finances the death of Ukrainian children in a monstrous war in Eastern Europe.

By falsely speculating on the lack of alternatives to russian supplies, the regime in Moscow is trying to make the Western world an accomplice in its crimes against humanity.

Don't be complicit! Launch a complete embargo on oil and gas from Russia! Stop killing Ukrainian children!
