Macron shamed as energy giant faces ‘anti-terrorism’ inquiry for fuelling Putin’s war jets

According to the NGO Global Witness, this condensate then gets shipped to Russian energy company Gazprom’s Neft refinery in Omsk, where it gets refined into products such as petrol, or jet fuel.

According to reports, hundreds of shipments of jet fuel produced at Omsk have been sent to Russian Air Force bases near Ukraine. Using data gathered from the financial database Refinitiv, French outlet Le Monde traced the supply chain from Termokarstovoye to the two military airbases.

The airbases, called Morozovskaya and Malchevo, each house a squadron of multirole Sukhoi combat aircraft. Since February, jets from these bases have taken part in a number of bombardments of civilian areas, including the horrific Mariupol theatre attack on March 16.

Terneftegaz supplied the gas condensate for the Russian warplanes, and until recently Totalenergies held a 49 percent stake in the company that extracted gas from the Termokarstovoye field.
