French firm TotalEnergies has denied a newspaper report which said gas condensate converted into jet fuel and delivered by a company it co-owns with Russia’s Novatek might have supplied Russian army bases.
“No, TotalEnergies does not produce kerosene for the Russian army,” the company said in a statement.
The Le Monde newspaper report was based on energy market data. It said the fuel might have been used at two Russian army bases which non-governmental organisations have accused of housing aircraft used to strike civilian targets in Ukraine. Al Jazeera could not independently verify the claims.
