  My country has cut all fuel imports from Russia on May 22, 2022. And it is weird to compare something you as an individual have very limited control over with directly spending your money with a company. I believe it is important to inform people that part of their spending is going into Russia directly.

    Not that i disagree but Russia became very good at selling fuel through middlemen. So you most likely still use Russian fuel. And govs know it but still happily do it because it's cheap fuel. So in my country it seems to mostly be just gov marketing.

      We are buying fuel from US, and I am very selective about which gas stations I use for personal fuel ups, to make sure oil source is transparent and not mixed.

  The world might be a bad place, but each of us can make individual decisions, without "whataboutism". I certainly try to do so.

  It is, but that doesn't alleviate you of personal agency or accountability.
