Absolutely this war is impacting energy prices.

He has also done things to mitigate it, waived sanctions, opened up venezuela, pushed for US to drill baby drill etc.

The Ukraines response? Blow up oil refineries.

I mean, I get it, they don't want the Russkies to profit with this price spike, but they also know they also know this is throwing fuel on a fire.

While I am critical of pre-war Ukrainian government and their justification to prevent the secession of eastern states, all else equal, they should absolutely strive to prevent excess profits from flowing to the Russian war machine if they want to force the best concessions. That's just a strategic fact
