Meanwhile, now the UK energy giant BP has just released its latest results and it made profits of $3.2 billion in the past three months, double this time last year.
As the war continues, oil companies have been posting spectacular profits.
In recent weeks, they've been sharing huge earnings numbers, with the conflict rocking the global energy market.
One executive saying the volatility has created opportunities.
The Times global econ correspondent, Patty Cohen, has been digging into what is behind those sky-high profits.
Patty says the new profits have reignited a debate in Europe over whether to impose a temporary windfall tax on oil and gas companies' sudden jackpot.
That money could then be used to help slash consumers' energy bills across the continent.
Most EU countries did that in 2022 after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine drove oil prices way up.
But it was a challenge to actually collect the money.
One French economist told The Times that in response, oil giants did things like shift their profits to offshore tax havens.
On Capitol Hill yesterday, the Senate voted in Kevin Warsh as the new chair of the Federal Reserve.
But even as he steps into the new job, there are major concerns in Washington over whether he will maintain the Fed's tradition of independence from the White House.
Are you going to be anybody's human sock puppet?

Trump has spent the last year and a half relentlessly attacking the outgoing Fed chair, Jerome Powell.
for not lowering interest rates like he wanted him to.
That threatened to break the long-standing norm of letting the central bank make its own decisions about what's best for the economy.
My colleague Colby Smith, who covers the Fed, says Warsh has repeatedly denied that he'll follow Trump's lead on interest rates, but he has said he wants to shake things up.
Colby has more about his plans for what he's called regime change on today's episode of The Daily.
