But then why Europe, too? Does Russia have more politicians in their pocket than people want to admit? I have no idea why they'd want to stay remotely coupled to petrol unless they want to have to continue to buy some from Russia.

I don't think it's politicians driving that decision, I think it's the money from Petro companies and car companies that are heavily invested and dominant in the gas car industry
