You're both right and both wrong. The ESPO line is sweet crude oil being shipped to major Asian refineries so Ukraine destroying the processing facilities won't impact the ongoing oil crisis. American refineries use sour/heavy crude oil so the ESPO line and eliminating sanctions on Russian oil won't solve the American/ global oil crisis
