A speaker for the "Greenpeace" Faiza Oulahsen said: "We act on behalf of the millions of people who support our campaign to stop the reckless attack on the Arctic. With the disappearance of the ocean ice, "Gazprom" and their partners as "Shell" head north to gain more fuel, destroying the climate and are responsible for the melting of ice in the first place. This is insane and must be stopped. "
The platform "GSP Saturn" has never operated in the extremely difficult conditions expected in Pechora sea, and at the same time "Gazprom" could not respond adequately to a major oil spilling. The state company recently gained its first quantities of oil from the icy waters of the Arctic on the infamous platform "Prirazlomnaya". Exactly after protest on this platform 28 activists and two freelance journalists were detained last year for more than two months in Russian prisons.
Oulahsen, herself one of the detained activists earlier, added: "This platform is a symbol of a much larger crisis. Western oil companies stand side to side to their Russian partners and try to penetrate the last "promised land" of the planet in the Arctic. In the name of the environment that we share, and our future prosperity, we need to stop these arrangements and invest in clean energy technologies. Our campaign "Save the Arctic" is an appeal to become wiser and we will not rest until the oil industry does not come out of there forever.
