Greenpeace Blocks Russian Oil Bound for ExxonMobil Terminal in Norway
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Norway, police arrested 20 protesters Monday after they blocked a
massive shipment of Russian oil from reaching shore. Members of
Greenpeace held signs reading "Oil fuels war" as they chained themselves
to the anchor chain of the massive Ust Luga oil tanker, which was
waiting to offload nearly 100,000 metric tons of fuel to a terminal
operated by Exxon Mobil. This is Frode Pleym, head of Greenpeace Norway.

Frode Pleym: "This oil tanker is fully loaded with Russian oil bound for
the Esso terminal ashore here in Norway. Greenpeace is demanding from
Esso and the Norwegian government to ensure that this Russian oil is not
imported to Norway. It fuels Putin's war on Ukraine. It's wrong."
