Keep in mind that it is in their favor to buy Russian energy (even with small discounts) as long as they are putting their competitors in Europe out of business. This de-industrialization is mostly celebrated by them and of course US that are all sucking up all EU's industries like a vacuum.
Now I will explain where you are wrong, or trying to deceive yourself
Look, for example, there is a certain company A. It produces ... Well, let's say chips. It doesn't matter, because the essence does not change. So. This company was accused and proved that it is a criminal. financial and criminal criminals, a dishonest business partner who constantly violates contractual obligations, throws suppliers, terrorizes partners, and the head of the company is an inadequate maniac. And the judicial system imposed restrictions - blocked some of the accounts, severely restricted export activities, and imposed restrictions on the sale of this company's products. And generally prepare cases for freezing assets and declaring the company bankrupt, and many employees and the owner are a criminal under many articles, both economic and criminal. Company A has no warehouses for long-term storage. The market turns away from them, especially since the product is not unique, and there are many more manufacturers on the market. Yes, company A once monopolized one area, and was the "exclusive supplier" there. But after the investigation began, the region found alternative suppliers of chips. Now the question is - will company B, from a neighboring country, buy chips from company A "at a slight discount"? Moreover, company B is very pragmatic, and its goal is exclusively its own superprofits and ensuring survival in a very difficult market, plus it itself has big internal problems, including financial ones?
Why would company B buy chips from company A, at a "small discount", if company A is now collapsing, and its management wants to somehow manage to earn at least some money? At least at the level of cost, even lower - the main thing is to have time to "pull out" at least some money, because the day after tomorrow - and this will not happen.
Answer - under what conditions will company B buy deposits of unrealizable, illiquid and soon spoiled chips from company A? Only without prevaricating, and not inventing fantastic stories?
