I for example do not understand how it can be possible that Ukraine transports Russian gas on its pipeline network. Not sure if that's still the case though.

Or how European countries have bankrolled Russia's invasion with billions per year (100b since the war started) in payments for gas. While paying lip service to optics announcing ever harsher sanctions - like freezing one or two bank accounts of irrelevant family friends of Putin.

Sadly war means western countries will keep printing money, while also funding the military industrial complex. For some, this is a goal.
