Razom We Stand joined 400+ participants from ~110 governments at #IGF2026 in Geneva. The message: it’s not just about more minerals, but who decides and who benefits. Ukraine’s mineral future must be built on transparency and accountability from day one.
After Trump’s Diesel Deal, Russian missiles still hit Ukraine’s grid.
“This deal will not bring U.S. pump prices down before November. What it brings is fresh cash for the missiles falling on Ukrainian homes every day.” — @SvitlanaRomanko
Thanks @brendanmarkcole@Newsweek 👇
Ukraine holds deposits of 25 of the EU's 34 critical raw materials. Yet they've made up just 0.14–0.27% of its exports to the #EU over the past decade.
Our new paper explores that gap and how to develop the sector responsibly in wartime 👇

@EITIorg 3/ Our takeaway: mineral security can’t rest on supply diversification alone. It needs transparent deals, accountable institutions and responsible investment. Next stop: #COP31#CriticalMinerals
1/ Is mining transparency improving governance, or just producing more data? That was the key question at the 10th #EITI Global Conference in Brussels, where our Campaigner Javier Casas represented @RazomWeStand as an @EITIorg civil society member. 🇺🇦 👇
@EITIorg 2/ Key themes included the geopolitics of critical minerals, supply chain traceability, more value for mineral-rich countries, and protecting civil society’s role in resource governance 👇
2/ Ahead of the 15–16 Oct European Council, we’re calling for a 23rd package now: full maritime services ban, full ban on LNG tanker sales to Russia, sanctions on Novatek, and no more national carve-outs like Greece’s. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

1/ The EU’s 22nd #sanctions package is the biggest expansion of the list since the war began. Impressive on paper. But Europe still imported a record €7.88bn of Russian Arctic LNG in Jan–Sep 2026, and European firms still help ship it 👇
Every litre of Russian diesel is paid for twice: once in dollars, once in Ukrainian lives.
Our Strategic Advisor @oleg_savitsky on @SkyNews: easing #sanctions won’t lower US pump prices. It will fund more missiles.

Methane is short-lived but powerful greenhouse gas, so cutting it fast brings real cooling within decades. At today’s Climate Breakfast, @oleg_savitsky of @RazomWeStand showed how EU Regulation 2024/1787 can help Ukraine cut methane and gas losses while boosting energy security👇
@oleg_savitsky To make the rules work, Ukraine needs a reliable #methane emissions baseline, LDAR programmes to find and fix leaks, less venting and flaring, action on legacy sites, and investment in real projects, all built on a partnership between government and business.
🇺🇦 Ukraine has huge mineral potential. But potential isn’t production. Our new report analysed 2,070 mining permits. Just ~5% concern industrial minerals, metals and critical minerals, while 498 permits expire by the end of 2027.

Razom We Stand welcomes new UK #sanctions on Novatek Gas and Power Asia and 6 Russian LNG carriers. But more action is needed: the UK must end exemptions for Russian LNG, sanction Novatek PJSC and its subsidiaries, target LNG tankers, and close loopholes.

Ukraine holds deposits of 25 of the EU's 34 critical raw materials, yet they account for under 0.3% of its exports to the EU.
Our new paper explains why, with lessons from Colombia, Serbia, Congo and Sweden.

On 1 October, dozens protested in Copenhagen, calling on #Fayard to stop repairing the Arc7 tankers serving Russia’s Yamal #LNG project.
Fayard is the last known #EU shipyard still servicing these vessels. Four Arc7 tankers have been reported at the yard since June 👇
Every EU #sanctions package gets watered down, not by Moscow, but by member states protecting their own industries.
Meanwhile, Russia still earns €734M a day from fossil fuels.
For #Ukraine, every exemption means more nights of counting drones.

Ukraine has one of the world's largest manganese reserves, a key battery mineral. The EU imports 100% of its battery-grade supply.
War has stalled production, but reconstruction could change that 👇
