    This news is an insult for anyone in EU paying gas bills. This shipment works directly against the strategic goals of Ukraine and the regulatory framework of the EU. It essentially provides a “relief valve” for the damage caused by Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure.

    Every barrel of fuel that reaches Russia is a shell or a drone fired at Ukraine.

    Japan and South Korea must decide if these short-term profits are worth the long-term cost of alienating NATO allies. Personally, this makes me rethink my support for Japanese brands and services.

    The headline should probably highlight that it appears to be Korea selling the fuel they purchased from Japan.
