The fact that there's large scale taxpayer subsidy universally supports the fact the market has failed. I'm surprised you see that as a "gotcha" moment against others who argue for greater state involvement in markets that are blatantly not competitive.
Russia has failed the world. They were trusted to ensure continuity of supply and we did business with them.

The markets have reacted appropriately by increasing prices to reflect increased demand. How people who can't afford it are helped is a matter for governments.
