There's a pretty big difference between "funding" a war by buying oil (BRICS/Non-Aligned), and "funding" a war by giving military aid (the West). Also, The West is still buying oil from Russia because for some countries there's still no alternative.

Russia sells oil to india, buys rice. Russia sends rice to korea, buys people and ammunition. How is India not funding russian war efforts?

You buy a laptop on eBay because you desperately need one for work to feed yourself and you can only afford the cheap one on eBay. The seller buys rice with that money and hires a hitman by paying him the rice, the hitman goes on a shooting spree, how did you not fund that shooting spree?

India knows their money is being used for war. You dont know your money is being used for murder. If you did you would be an accomplice, yes.

Europe knows their money is being used for war in their own backyard when they buy oil from India.
