The war started in 2022, and so this means that they were trading with Russia for 3 years straight with no consequences until July 18, 2025, unless I am missing something. Like, why didn’t they get sanctioned in 2022 but only after 3 years?

Why were they able to stay under the radar for 3 years?

Regarding this “news” site as it’s the first time I am seeing this (the .su domain is for Soviet Union by the way):

Ownership information is not transparent; however, according to the NEO about page, its address is “12, Rozhdestvenka Street, office 111, Moscow.” The exact address is also used by “The Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.” Typically, the Putin government gives the Research Institutes’ control to the Ministry of Education; therefore, the Russian government funds and owns this journal through the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Straight from Windows to Hyperland? That’s wild!

Can’t they really use EU technologies instead?
