Activists from Greenpeace Italy daubed the message “peace, not oil” on the side of a Russian oil tanker, as pressure increases on European governments to wean themselves off fossil fuels.

The environmental protestors approached the ship in two rubber dinghies as it was entering the port of Santa Panagia in Sicily on Sunday.

They painted the message – and the Greenpeace symbol – in yellow paint before speeding away.

Greenpeace has said that, since the start of Moscow’s war in Ukraine, EU nations have spent more than €33 billion on fossil fuel imports from Russia.

Watch footage of their daring stunt here.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
