China built a lot of solar and wind projects, so they’ve been divesting from oil and gas

They've been building wind/solar because they've exhausted oil/gas supplies.

But when Russia started opening up trade, they were happily drinking from the fire hose of cheap fossil fuels. And they're still some of the biggest coal power consumers.

They've been rapidly rolling out Solar/Wind to meet a voracious demand for Wattage that fossil fuels can't meet alone. But they've also been rolling out new fossil fuel plants. And for the same reasons.
