Environmental organization Greenpeace reported that “activists prevented the unloading of a batch of Russian gas at a liquefaction plant in Tornio in northern Finland.”

“The movement started around seven o’clock and the activists climbed onto the loading bays,” said Mika Kolimainen, director of Manga LNG, noting that “there are two ships outside the station, which is close to the Swedish border.”

In a statement, Greenpeace activist Olli Tiainen called it “completely unacceptable that Russian gas is still allowed in Finland, more than six months after Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine,” stressing that “this is good for the Finnish government and the prime minister.” minister.” “Sanna Marine, immediately ban all Russian exports of fossil energy resources.”

In this context, it is noted that “the Europeans have imposed sanctions on Russian oil and coal, but have not yet included Russian gas imports.” Tensions escalated between Moscow and the European Union over Russian gas supplies, as President Vladimir Putin vowed to “stop all hydrocarbon exports if the Europeans impose a price ceiling on gas imports, as proposed by Brussels as part of the Musk sanctions.”
