Protesters disrupted a Russian-organized event at the United Nations Climate Conference COP27 in Egypt on Tuesday, criticizing delegates over the war in Ukraine and Russia’s use of fossil fuels. .
The demonstration lasted a few seconds and the demonstrators were removed by security.
About five people stood and shouted as Russian officials took part in a panel discussion on the country’s climate plans.
One protester shouted: “You are war criminals”. Another held a banner with the slogan “Fossil fuels kill”, calling Russian delegates “despicable”.
Earlier, Russia’s climate envoy said the country was still actively trying to stop climate change and said he was concerned that some countries might be using a “difficult geopolitical situation” to justify backtracking on climate commitments.
