So, in a roundabout way, aiding and abetting the slaughter of so many Ukranians. Shame on them - but again, it's all about the money, innit?!

Well, to be fair, if you have a contract, chances are there are such bum-biters as penalty clauses for breaching its terms. In the case of a supplier/refiner, they're liable to be hefty (seven figures), so responsibility not only to the client but also the employees and yes, shareholders, will weigh heavily chez Total.
All the cos which have left or are leaving Russia can't just shut the door and hand over the keys to the shop. Negotiations are usually protracted but have been truncated in some cases, to the detriment of all parties.
