    that makes no sense, the eu did get lots of oil from russia and now it doesn’t because of the invasion of ukraine?

    sanctions on russia are leverage, if russia wants to come back and make money again it is free to simply leave ukraine, easy

      Russia makes money from India. India marks up more from Europe. Why would Russia sell surplus to India below EU’s price cap? Not that better relations with Russia isn’t a massive benefit to EU, but the performative reimporting from India is next level dumb bs.
