The EU banned the purchase of crude oil from them in December and are halting refined petroleum products in February.
Personally I think that's pretty late all things considered, but meeting the energy needs of an entire continent is arguably more important than a single company attempting to squeeze more profits at the expense of human life.
Also wdym the Western world has funded the war more than anyone else? I'd agree if you mean based on the oil that Europe has bought before the war, but otherwise the main purchases of Russian oil since the start of the war has been countries like China and India taking advantage of the discounted prices.

While a lot of countries either halted purchases or entire pieces of infrastructure of oil in response to the Russo-Ukrainian War, Shell continued buying oil from them for very cheap essentially funding part of Russia's military campaign

Used and bought are two different things though

Okay I get that, you said that. Where are you finding this information and what part of the West is doing so deliberately? Can you give me numbers or direct information, something?
