- DFHippie 4y agoOne of the biggest suppliers is boycotting them. Russia has turned off the gas to try to break the European resolve to assist Ukraine.
- ben_w 4y agoAlso true. It's a two-way boycott.
- hammock 4y agoIs that self-inflicted or do they have to boycott it?
- ben_w 4y ago"Have to" is ill defined. On paper they could say "leaving the Soviet union was a terrible idea, we want back in" but many have lived experience of living under soviet (or soviet-allied) rule and hated it. On paper they could give Russia a ultimatum of "withdraw or face open war", but Russia has more nukes and they may well still function. Boycotts are the current choice.
