I know, but this Ukraine thing created a secondary market that wouldn’t have existed before. It shuffled the deck and allowed a bunch of Chinese brokers (among others) to trade fuel essentially on the black market. Thus artificially inflating the price of oil.

It's not doing much of anything to the price. If anything making russia sell at a discount is putting a drag on the price as China buys more from them, lowering demand for non-russian oil.
