The thing is, that the sanctions were never meant to prevent Russia from exporting oil because the world requires that oil to function, unfortunately. So the goal was to make Russia give steep discounts and as far ss I know, that is working. And yeah, billionaires are getting richer thanks to oil... what's new?
I'm was about to write that I couldn't have imagined anything else happening that described in the article.
But you mention an interesting point. Just making Russian oil worth less on the world market.
