Putin sells oil to EU out in the open, Europeans know this already. If you stop buying from Turkey they’ll just do it with any other country. India does this, Greece did this.
He did it with Shell , probably still does it in the Arctic Ocean …
Well, we have an EU who needs fossil fuels. We have a Russia, who wants to sell these fuels. Then we have a show going on, where the political and economic elite acts like they care about certain morale minimums and money is secondary, while actually cash is king and the business must go.
And this is where Turkey helps, so officially we can outplay our own sanctions to buy the same fuel, certain voters can get fooled by that. So simple.
Everyone has given up on the sanctions, when the Houthis hit that oil tanker containing Russian oil it was owned by an Italian corporation and flagged in the UK.
