<P dir=ltr>Western leaders have condemned Putin’s
troops' war crimes and pledged to assist Ukraine – yet
the fossil fuels funding this war continue to flow from
Russia, despite Ukrainians’ cry to stop Russian oil

<STRONG>we’ve been keeping up the pressure on the
companies</STRONG> enabling this deadly trade.</P>

than 360 ships discharged a staggering quantity of
fossil fuels loaded from Russian ports between February
and March 2022. </P>
<P dir=ltr>Every one of these vessels were insured by
western insurance associations. These companies have
<STRONG>no excuse for continuing to underwrite an
industry that fuels war</STRONG> as well as the
destruction of our shared planet.</P>
<P dir=ltr>Oleg Ustenko, Chief Economic Advisor to
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, called on these
insurers to <STRONG>stop covering tankers carrying
Russian fossil fuels</STRONG>.</P>

<P dir=ltr>Commodity traders —a little-known, small
group of western companies that dominate the world’s
supply of natural resources including oil—were also
doing their bit. According to data seen by Global
Witness, several traders have c<STRONG>ontinued to lift
large volumes of Russian fossil fuels since the
invasion</STRONG>.</P>
<P dir=ltr>In fact, three of the world’s largest
commodity traders—Vitol, Trafigura and
Glencore—transported more oil from Russian ports than
they had done in the same period over at least the last
three years, <A style="COLOR: rgb(227,5,19)"

<P dir=ltr>The enablers of Russia’s trade in fossil

civilians. These companies now have a choice. Exclude
Russian fossil fuels from their business or remain
complicit in Putin’s war crimes.</P>
