Reply to comment by Dave5876 in ‘This is greenwashing’: Shell accused of overstating renewable energy spending by pipsdontsqueak

The EU banned the purchase of crude oil from them in December and are halting refined petroleum products in February.

Personally I think that's pretty late all things considered, but meeting the energy needs of an entire continent is arguably more important than a single company attempting to squeeze more profits at the expense of human life.

Also wdym the Western world has funded the war more than anyone else? I'd agree if you mean based on the oil that Europe has bought before the war, but otherwise the main purchases of Russian oil since the start of the war has been countries like China and India taking advantage of the discounted prices.

The Western world funded, and is funding the Putin way more than China and India combined.

Okay I get that, you said that. Where are you finding this information and what part of the West is doing so deliberately? Can you give me numbers or direct information, something?
