Shell has defended its decision to purchase Russian crude oil despite the invasion and bombardment of Ukraine.
The oil giant said in a statement that the decision to purchase the fuel at a discounted price was “difficult”.
It confirmed that it had bought a cargo of Russian crude oil on Friday but it had “no alternative”.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba hit out at the energy company, asking on Twitter: “Doesn’t Russian oil smell Ukrainian blood for you?”
So far Western countries have not imposed sanctions on Russian oil imports, fearing it will drive up already record high energy prices around the world.
But on Sunday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US was now in “active discussions” with European partners about banning them while also maintaining a “steady global supply”.
So they purchase the Russian oil at a “discounted” price but they still have the highest gas prices around…
Buying Oil from the ENEMY should be TREASON & a CRIME !!!! Esp with WAR going on !!!!
SAME as buying OIL from Hitler or Japan in WW2 !!! Same TODAY !!! TREASON !!!!

Why should average Americans suffer higher energy prices because American politicians can’t stop meddling in other countries affairs? Ukraine bought and paid for American politicians. Now they are paying the price. Just like all other corrupt governments they cheat, lie and steal then use civilians as political fodder in wars.
Just like buying OIL from STALIN in WW2 !!!!! TREASON
