Our national community campaign about refined russian blood oil entering Australia, has gained significant traction in Australian media and sparked wider global awareness in recent weeks.
Expertise from our colleagues at Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and the AFUO’s work with Tassie-based chemical engineer Mark Corrigan has revealed the logistics of the oil trade and its role in financing Russia’s war.

The AFUO’s voice has been heard loud and clear in all these stories. “Refined russian oil doesn’t just fuel cars: it fuels russia’s genocidal war machine,” said Chair Kateryna Argyrou.
We also want to recognise and congratulate again the Geelong Ukrainian community for their powerful #stopfuellingrussiaswar protest at Geelong Port on Sat 8 Nov: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/ukrainian-australians-call-for-further-action-on-russian-blood-oil/5imqsjgdu
We must hold those fuelling russia’s war accountable.
