STOP FUELLING WAR: It’s Time for Action!

After two years of war in Ukraine, it’s time to confront a pressing question:

How is the Russian army financing its operations?

The answer hits closer to home than many may realise. The Belgian gas-transport company Fluxys is significantly involved, facilitating the export of Russian gas via the Zee-Brugge harbour to non-EU nations. This not only sustains the war effort but also implicates our own communities through their stakes in Fluxys, with Gent alone holding shares valued at €283 million.

The Actieavond in Gent, on 12 March, marked a pivotal moment as people took a step forward in the collective fight against war and environmental injustice.This event, a part of the broader Stop Fuelling War campaign, underscored the potency of community action and awareness. At the event, they deliberated, debated, and contemplated actionable steps to compel Gent to reassess its involvement with Fluxys and sever the financial connections that perpetuate war.
