??Wait you want Ukraine to directly let Russia profit from crude oil and refining, If anything ukraine should want as many middle men profiting from russian oil to undercut Russia, as fully removing russian oil from the market is not realistic.

Point is not what's cheaper for ukraine, but whats hurting russia more without causing global spike in inflation, isn't that why the price cap was introduced?
