This is utter hypocrisy by the Europeans. They have been buying Russian oil/energy throughout the so called sanctions and with the blessing of the US under Biden.

Yep. They’ve sent a lot more money to Russia than to Ukraine during this time.

The so-called sanctions were always a joke.

Europe had been violating them from the beginning.

More sanctions that will hurt the EU far more than Russia.

The EU will continue to receive oil from Russia through third parties and pay more of it. These sanctions assure that process will be more involved and expensive and raise energy costs for EU citizens.

That’s funny, because European countries are still importing Russian energy products.
