We are a global coalition of civil society organizations driven by a common goal: to block access to the economic resources behind Russian aggression. b4ukraine.org
Russia has taken control of 4 factories belonging to the Danish building materials giant Rockwool. We have warned them, including in person, that remaining in Russia is a growing liability rather than a sound business strategy. Rockwool is paying the price for short-sighted, greed-driven choices.

🔥 The UK gov has identified a legal basis to allow UK forces to board and detain vessels in Russia’s shadow fleet. We welcome this commitment. We also call for sanctions on LNG tankers shipping Russian gas and for secondary sanctions on refineries in India and China that process Russian crude oil.

Shockingly, the UK has allowed its world-leading insurance sector to facilitate nearly half of all Russian refined oil exports, according to @creacleanair.bsky.social. Now, the G7 and EU are considering a FULL BAN on Western maritime services for Russian oil shipments, potentially from early 2026.

Russia’s Arctic LNG exports remain heavily dependent on access to EU ports. This must end. The EU must close the Yamal loophole now. The EU and UK must also ensure that the Arc7 fleet doesn't fall into the wrong hands at the end of the year, propping up Yamal and keeping it alive. bit.ly/3N9YFbb

✈️ New reporting by @theguardian.com and ESCU, a B4Ukraine member, reveals Russia is still importing Michelin aviation tyres through third countries despite Michelin’s exit from the Russian market and attempts to stop the trade.

The French firm must do more to stop illicit re-exports.

B4Ukraine has been declared “undesirable” by Russia for our work to strengthen sanctions and advance the full economic isolation of the aggressor. Moscow’s fear proves the impact of int'l civil society. Our mission remains clear: to block access to the resources fueling Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Russia ordered Raiffeisen to pay $400M, pushing total court-imposed damages above $2.6B, despite the bank’s continued loyalty to Moscow.

The longer Raiffeisen stays in Russia, the higher the cost.

Exit now, write off the assets, and seek int'l legal remedy.

According to ESCU, in 2024, Russia imported over $60M worth of aircraft tires and tire-production materials from China. These components are critical for Su-34 and Su-35S jets used in war crimes in Ukraine. Yet, only 1/9 firms supplying tires to Russia is currently under US sanctions. bit.ly/3YCoP8U

EU moves toward unlocking €210bn for Ukraine—Kremlin responds with threats to nationalise foreign firms.

B4Ukraine has warned: staying in Russia isn’t strategy, it’s risk.

Companies still there profit while taxpayers pay for the war.
The cost must fall on the aggressor.
Exit now.

#Milka is a German Christmas favorite 🎄. But many don’t know they’re made by a US firm still active in Russia.

@k2news.bsky.social from the B4Ukraine Coalition highlights brands like Milka to show how profits connect to the people affected by war. Your choices as a consumer can make a difference. 💡

The Ukrainian Association in Finland said: “We called for a boycott of businesses that fill the Russian budget and thereby support the Russian war machine. By purchasing products from Mondelez, Nestle, Pepsi, or L’Oreal, you are inadvertently contributing to the financing of Russian aggression.”

Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments were accused today in a lawsuit of failing to prevent their tech from ending up in Russian weapons that have killed civilians in Ukraine. Mouser Electronics is accused of facilitating the transfer of chips to shell firms controlled by Russian proxies. bit.ly/48IgIfB

In Oslo, activists rallied outside the shop of Norwegian chocolate brand Freia — whose owner, Mondelēz International, remains one of the largest foreign taxpayers in Russia.

This Christmas season, choose brands that aren’t complicit in Russia’s unprovoked war aggression against Ukraine.

In Stockholm, protesters and policymakers — including Karin Karlsbro and Kristoffer Tamsons — stood together, reminding Swedish firms:
“Doing business with Russia is not neutral. It’s taking a stand — on the wrong side of history.”

Ukrainians and allies are filling European city centres with one message to global firms: Stop bankrolling Russia’s war. Leave Russia. Now.

In London, activists marched to Brunello Cucinelli, Agent Provocateur, and Dolce & Gabbana, calling out companies that keep feeding the Kremlin’s war chest.

Funding Ukraine’s defence over 4 years will cost European countries between $606 and $972bn, but it would cost them almost double, between $1.4 and $1.8 trillion, to reinforce its eastern flank if Moscow gets its way, according to a new study by B4Ukraine member Corisk. bit.ly/4oAKokE

B4Ukraine welcomes the landmark decision by the @ec.europa.eu to add Russia to the EU’s list of high-risk third countries for money laundering and terrorism financing.
Nothing is impossible when we stand together for justice, accountability, and Ukraine’s victory.

In a new article in @euobserver.com, Nezir Sinani of B4Ukraine explains why the EU was right to reject Austria’s push to unfreeze €2bn in sanctioned Russian assets and award them to #Raiffeisen Bank, and highlights the broader lessons for protecting the integrity of EU sanctions: bit.ly/3Xzi07H

🔥 Join us in demanding an end to corporate complicity in Russia’s war. As the holiday season kicks in and people begin shopping for Christmas gifts, global firms—many of which are still in Russia—stand ready to profit despite fueling an ongoing war and human suffering. We must hold them accountable.

@dekleptocracy.bsky.social: chemicals used to produce mechanical lubricants and military-grade tyres represent a critical weak spot for Russia that US/EU/UK could exploit. Russia cannot produce the chemicals required for these lubricants and relies on one Chinese firm for its supply. bit.ly/43ZzBcC

Arctic LNG exports are now the single biggest financial artery sustaining Russia’s war, and the G7 has the power to cut it immediately, write B4Ukraine Executive Director Nezir Sinani & @razomwestand.bsky.social’s Svitlana Romanko in a new joint op-ed for @highnorthnews.bsky.social.

Australia is the world’s #1 importer of Russian oil refined in 3rd countries = $2B to Russia since 2023.

Senator Sharma calls on the gov to close this loophole. "Get in step with our allies, support Ukraine, and not contribute a further cent, a further dollar, to Russia's illegal and immoral war.”

#Aviva, a leader in ESG investing, must act.

#PepsiCo continues paying hundreds of millions in taxes to the Kremlin.

Staying invested in such a company contradicts Aviva’s corporate values.

We call on Aviva to divest from #Pepsi — proving that ESG leadership and human dignity are more than words.
