That was my point. This all just goes to show what a pariah state Russia has become. When even China balks at their aggressive conduct. Russia actually attacked a nuclear power complex today.
Far from me to support UK(and US) appetites into this, they are without doubt exploiting the situation and using any chance to get back at russia with someone's else arses and have as certainly encouraged the conflict by stopping UA intents to negotiate neutrality as soon as they had shown their willingness, i just found a very informative overview on the situation. Swedish, of course.
My wife is polish and she is not upset. Many of her high skilled friends left Poland 10-20 years ago to the west EU, GB and USA. There is and was a hugh brain drain to the west. None will return. They will or have already accepted the citizenship of the new homeland, in high taxed countries …The same is true for russian people.
You can look the guy up on wikipedia. The story seems legit, although wikipedia links to a der spiegel article that suggests that there might be bias in this guy's accusations because he has been ejected from his biz.
They bring up some hints that not everything might be as he claims.

Shell Buys Russia’s Flagship Urals Oil at a Record Discount 😉
They are donating the $20 million profit to a Ukrainian relief fund.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...sia-s-flagship-urals-oil-at-a-record-discount
The Russian company likely begged Shell to do so. I have read news articles of ships with Russian oil turned away from ports. One was rejected by the UK and sailed to France. Not sure whether the French allowed it to dock. Russia is a pariah state right now.
It is not easy as that. They will demand huge concessions and very favorite terms for them before helping a seriously wounded animal. If one partners position becomes weak, they will of course renegotiate. Who would not try to do that? 😉
