Sanctions? What Sanctions? Russia Still Rakes in €883 Billion from Energy Sales
Despite years of “crippling” sanctions, Russia keeps making money — a lot of it — from the very countries backing Ukraine.
New data shows EU nations alone paid €209bn for Russian oil and gas since 2022. Add to that the "refined" Russian crude rerouted through India and Turkey — and voilà, problem solved.
Western governments fear high energy prices more than they fear funding a war.
Trump’s idea? Lower oil prices via OPEC. Experts laughed. Literally.
Even EU’s top diplomat admits sanctions on energy were watered down by fears of price hikes.
And yes, half of Russia’s LNG still lands in EU ports.
Fueling both sides of the war? Efficient, if ethically catastrophic.
