"People are not touching Russian barrels. You may see some on the water right now, but they were bought prior to the invasion. There wont be much after that," said one New York Harbor trader. "No one wants to be seen buying Russian products and funding a war against the Ukrainian people," he added.

GONZALEZ: So now Russia is cutting its oil prices, like, come on, who wants this oil for cheap? Ziemba says Russian oil is selling for about $20 less a barrel than all the other oil of the world. Someone's going to buy that oil eventually.

we have ways to restrict Russia's oil and gas exports, if we choose to do it.

The oil will find buyers.
I do support boycotting their oil, but it wont have a big impact on Russia.
