Russia holds the cards on this one, or at least the oil. You are fully correct in the analysis that Russia will sell oil to someone at slightly below market price, and those buyers will resell the oil to the boycotting countries. It's almost like money laundering, except everyone knows that the oil was dirty and they only care about a facade that says they didn't buy oil from Russia.
