France’s Green candidate in the upcoming presidential election, Yannick Jadot, has accused TotalEnergies of “complicity in war crimes” in Ukraine, a day after the French energy giant said it would stop buying oil from Moscow by the end of the year but continue its purchases of Russian gas.
The Paris-based oil and gas giant has come under intense pressure over its continued presence in Russia, with most of its Western rivals having rushed to end their Russian ventures just days after the Kremlin sent its tanks into Ukraine.
