I am told that Shell discretely bought some Russian oil yesterday. One question to @Shell: doesn’t Russian oil smell Ukrainian blood for you?

In an articulation gave on Monday, Shell said that it expected the move, which will likewise apply to any "related elements" to Gazprom, would be worth about $3bn (£2.2bn). The related costs will be set apart on its accounting report in the not so distant future.
Shell followed on from any semblance of BP, which had as of now reported that it would offload its stake in the Russian state-claimed oil monster Rosiest - a likely hit of $25bn.
