Anis Banier Runcher, the minister of energy for France, revealed that a case had been brought against the French energy firm “Total Enege” for creating a field in Russia.
The minister further stated that “no corporation, whether little or large, must exempt itself from the implementation of sanctions” in an interview with the “LCI” television channel. The government has had this as its position from the outset. Justice will carry out its duties, and it is unacceptable to impose punishment on a French enterprise.
“The “Total Energuez” corporation is alleged to have participated in the issue of war crimes by the French “Darwin Clemx” alliance and the Ukrainian “Razom” organisation in a complaint submitted on Thursday to the Office of the National Public Prosecutor to combat terrorism in Paris.
Patrick Bouyan, CEO of the French oil and gas firm “Total,” had already opposed the Group of Seven’s plan to set a cap on the price of Russian oil, emphasising that this strategy is “a poor plan.
“Their goal is to enforce a maximum price for Russian oil. The maximum is expected to take effect for oil as of December 5 and for oil derivatives as of February 5 of 2023. Russian officials responded by issuing a warning that they will not export oil to nations that will set a cap on its price.
In reaction to Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine, Europe, which depends on Russian gas, is seeking to meet around 40% of its demand to diversify its energy sources by looking for alternatives and even moving in the direction of clean energy.
A lawsuit was brought by the French Energy Ministry against “Total Enemz.” Details
