Can someone with knowledge explain what this means for European countries that buy gas, oil and other goods from Russia. I am guessing they still want the essentials. Are those purchases not done through swift? That bring up another question, are purchases from one country to another done through the regular banking system?


They've only blocked some Russian banks from SWIFT.

They probably want to still be able to pay for gas and be paid for exports...


That many will start (or continue) buying gas from Argelia instead
