Fossil fuels are a geopolitical weapon
An interview with Svitlana Romanko, founder and director of “Razom We Stand”. Interviewer: Aureliusz M. Pędziwol
AURELIUSZ M. PĘDZIWOL: Can you tell me a bit about your organization, which is called Razom We Stand?
SVITLANA ROMANKO: In Ukrainian razom means together. In the very first days of Russia’s full-scale invasion in Ukraine I initiated an international campaign called “Stand with Ukraine”. Its goal was to end the global fossil fuel addiction that feeds Vladimir Putin’s war machine. Our organization developed from this initiative and today we are made up of 15 brilliant individuals who reside in Kyiv and Ivano-Frankivsk, but we also have staff spread across in Europe, especially in Germany.
