Oil prices this year have been still much higher the last couple years even if they went down 20 percent. This year had a mean average of 94.07 dollars per barrell.

Then why didn't the West simply stop buying Russian oil in February last year? Obviously the supply isn't enough to last all Western countries if they don't buy Russian oil. Especially given the oil cuts OPEC plus made. If there was plenty like you say, they would have made a ban not a price cap. Now prices will increase and more money will flow into the cophers of the Kremlin basically, the west creating the opposite of its intended outcome..

What do you mean by "the civilised world"? In this context? So countries who support Ukraine are the only civilised people in the world? I don't like that phrase, its often used in a context to make us think the west is civilized non western countries are not. Well " the civilized world " invaded Iraq and killed a million people, they protect war criminals like MBS and sell him weapons, they commit war crimes and go to war for resources I don't see anything civilised about that.
