EU doesn't have the moral high ground yet when it is still importing energy resources from Russia. Putin hasn't changed overnight. He was always sinister. Pipelines and refineries were built over last several years. This is a shock reaction but economics doesn't work on its basis, rather planning and counter-planning. As for your comment: > Saudi Arabia is not Russia, In many ways it is worse in human rights track record. > Russia is invading a democratic country Saudis attacked Yemen. Yemenis are suffering too. And then there are other stunts like kidnapping a prime-minister, murdering a well-known Saudi American journalist, phone hacking internationally, exporting/ funding Islamic militancy etc. List is equally long and dishonorable. > that is a part of the western world and like it or not Europeans can relate to Ukrainians. I think this is where your argument was gravitating to. tl;dr > People care more when their friend gets sick vs someone they don't know. Plus, Ukraine conflict just got a lot of traction and is extremely popular. That's saying some genocides like Eritrea, Rohingyas or Uyghurs aren't worth the same as Ukraine because we don't get social media updates. If TikTok is your standard, this is a poor hill to die on.
