Gazprom and Helping Combat Climate Change in Germany
Financial documents from the Climate Change Foundation in Germany, which have been released due to legal requirements, indicate that environmental activists who are working to combat the increase in production and consumption of fossil fuels and have launched extensive campaigns to clean seas and ports from LNG import terminals have received nearly 200 million euros in charitable donations from Gazprom.
At first glance, this seems like a positive step from the Russians, but in reality, this assistance is an effort to create a significant barrier to Germany’s natural gas imports and keep it dependent on gas imports from Russia.
