Your explanation of the situation sounds like the Byzantine corporate structures that multinationals use to evade taxes. I assume the goal is the same - to hoodwink and exploit the populace.
Morally speaking, I’d expect to have zero imports of Russian fuel to declare “independence”.
- kstenerud 3y agoThe goal is to keep the gas supply relatively stable, while reducing Russia's share of the profits. It's a kind of price-fixing-in-reverse. And you don't need zero imports to declare independence. You just need them low enough that Russia will gain no political leverage over you by threatening to shut down the supply to your region.
