Zelensky Seeks Peace by Demolishing Russia’s Fossil Fuel War Arsenal

Razom We Stand Urges the U.S. to Cut Off Russia’s Fuel Crown

With President Zelenskyy strolling through Washington this week, Razom We Stand has turned up the heat on a pretty straightforward demand: the war‑end at Ukraine hinges on emptying the Kremlin’s treasury—its mighty fuel coffers.

Why The Fuel Matters

Russia’s war is fueled—literally—by over 820 billion USD earned from fossil‑fuel sales since the conflict began. Even though U.S. sanctions have already nipped many LNG deals in the bud, the group says it’s game time.

Call to Action

“A stricter clamp on Russian fossil‑fuel exports is the most direct way to drain the war fund,” Razom We Stand says.
“And once Russia’s not raking in cash, Ukraine can finally focus on rebuilding its own greener future.”

Moving Forward

Besides tightening sanctions, the organization advocates pumping green energy into Ukraine, giving the nation the resources it needs to thrive beyond the old oil‑driven model.

In short: cut the fuel, lock the war, lift Ukraine’s ambitions.

Russian Warships Heave Fire at Norwegian Fishing Boat in the Arctic

The latest skirmish in the high‑north sees Russian naval vessels open fire on a Norwegian fishing boat. While the incident is a flashpoint in an already tense region, it’s also a clear signal that Moscow’s energy network might be the next target in the fight against its war machine.

Why the U.S. and its allies should go after LNG carriers

Moscow’s war budget is powered by fossil fuel profits. Every dollar that lands in the pockets of Gazprom or Novatek translates into more bombs over Ukraine.
Targeting LNG carriers cuts the lifeline. These vessels are the tangible, movable assets that fund the army of the Arctic.
Energy security for all. Removing Russia’s water‑powered export routes safeguards international supply chains.

President Zelenskyy’s UN tour

In a whirlwind of speeches at the UN Future Summit, the Security Council, and the General Assembly, Zelenskyy hammered home the message: “The war must end, and the only way is to eliminate the financial engine that fuels it.”

Word from a Ukrainian climate advocate

Svitlana Romanko, founder of Razom We Stand, says it’s a “pivotal moment.” She argues that renewable energy can be both a recovery tool for Ukraine and a strategic weapon against Russia’s fossil fuel dominance. Just think about it: a wind farm’s turbines are scattered across a landscape – no single strike can wipe them out, whereas a conventional power plant is one big, vulnerable target.

Why U.S. clean‑energy leadership matters

Climate costs are real. The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) report that weather‑driven disasters since 1980 have cost >$2.7 trillion.
Renewable growth knocks up to 4.1% job growth. The sector now employs over 3.3 million people.
Team up with Ukraine. Shared renewable projects reduce costs for both nations and boost global energy security.
Beat China. With most clean‑tech supply chains in China – some flagged for forced labor – the U.S. can lead the way with ethical, zero‑carbon alternatives.

“Clean Energy Marshall Plan” in the spotlight

Former senior adviser Brian Deese recently floated the idea of a Clean Energy Marshall Plan. The plan would benefit the U.S. renewable industry and help Ukraine adopt solar, wind, and battery storage. It’s a dual win: modernize the globe’s power grid while weakening Russia’s influence at the same time.

What Razom We Stand is pushing for

 The organization champions an absolute embargo on Russian fossil fuels and calls for an immediate halt to any investments in Russian oil and gas companies. They’re fusing climate justice with national defense—because no one has to pay for the price of war.
