CIEL Statement on ExxonMobil's Request for Russian Sanctions Waiver

CIEL condemns ExxonMobil's application for a US sanctions waiver that would enable a $500 billion joint venture with Rosneft for offshore drilling in the Black Sea and Russian Arctic, arguing the project is 'climate-deadly' and rewards international aggression.

• ExxonMobil has requested a waiver from the US Secretary of the Treasury regarding sanctions against Vladimir Putin's regime to proceed with a $500 billion joint venture with Rosneft. This venture aims to expand offshore drilling operations in the Russian Arctic and the Black Sea.
