Climate activists have blockaded the Glasgow office of a gas shipping company with links to Russia.
Dozens of activists are demonstrating outside the office of fossil fuel shipping enterprise Seapeak on Elliot Street with four locked to bikes, three blocking the office, and one person locked to a gas canister.
Others are holding banners reading 'Stop the Shipping War' and 'Make Renewables Not War' and have set off blue and yellow smoke flares.
The demonstration by Extinction Rebellion Ukraine began on Friday morning and comes after an open letter was published by the group calling Russian coal, oil, and gas an "existential threat both for world peace and for the climate".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has described Russia's mass reserves of fossil fuels, including gas, as the "heart of Russia's war machine".
The UK has banned any Russian-affiliated ships from entering their shores but it's reported that Seapeak is still coordinating gas tankers around the world from Glasgow.
Youth worker Scott Tully, 30, is among those taking part in the blockade, he said: "We are demonstrating the link between fossil fuel activity in Glasgow and Russia's war on Ukraine, though Seapeak also operate in other regions experiencing violence.
"Seapeak - and other war profiteering companies - are seen as an acceptable part of our economy by our governments. We need a root and branch shake-up of our economy, towards renewable energy for peace and away from cynical war-profiteers like Seapeak."
Stuart Bretherton, 23, support worker added: "Seapeak's shipping operations provide funding to Putin's war machine, a colonial occupation of West Papua and other regimes guilty of human rights abuses.
'We are here to show solidarity with the people of Ukraine by doing what we can to disrupt this money pipeline. In many of the escalating crises we are witnessing - from war, to climate breakdown, to cost of living rises - the fossil fuel industry sits at the centre, so it's clear we need a just transition to renewable energy for the sake of peace, democracy, and the planet."
