The SWIFT ban was specifically designed to not block any gas, oil or coal related trades between Russia and Europe, so that these can continue as the EU was very much aware that this kind of sanctions results into no benefit for them.
Europe did not refuse to buy gas from Russia. Russia just stopped selling gas to Europe.
But you can classify the government.
First of all: racism does not necessarily include fascism. That’s a little more in the extreme. Second this is about media being racist (which I agree is very bad and I was shocked about these reports as well in the beginning of the war)
Third, what does this Twitter thread has to do with NATO?
Pro NATO = fascism?
I guess in this case fighting against the commen greater enemy is more important in the current situation.
Are you suggesting, that this anti-facist group should shoot the azov nazis?
This meme is pretty inaccurate IMO.
First I think most Russians who are speaking like this would like to (and probably are) stay(ing) in Russia.
Second the EU is blocking most russians to enter it. Which is bad, as those who flee Russia mostly are not in favor of the Russian government. And I worry that closing the borders for Russians just strengthens the anti-russian sentiment in EU countries, while Russians (the people, not the government) are not fault of the current situation.
