Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Sebastian Rötters has been working intensively on sanctions against Russia. His main goal is to significantly hinder or prevent Russia's energy exports in order to deprive the war against Ukraine, which violates international law, of its financial resources. His work focuses on stopping trade in Russian LNG from the Arctic and the shadow oil fleet. He also supports urgewald's long-standing partner Vladimir Slivyak in his fight against the Russian state-owned nuclear company Rosatom.
Sebastian has worked on Colombian blood coal for many years, and his extended stays there have been very helpful.
When he is not busy with urgewald or his family, he enjoys sports: although his love is still cycling, he has also become a passionate (marathon) runner.
