It's been true for a long time.

Why are you surprised? China in particular has enormous reserves of coal (or at least, reportedly). How do you think all of that cheap but energy-intensive stuff we buy from China gets made?
If the global west weans off russian oil, and india and china use russian oil to replace coal, this is all still a huge win for the CO2 of the atmosphere and india and china's local environmental air quality. Though I don't like developing economies being shackled to russian oil, that will just cause a repeat of what we are seeing today in a decade.
Those are both huge economies and I guess a big part of the problem is that they need (cost-effective) energy today, not tomorrow, so coal is their immediate solution. So I’d assume that will hold as long as Russia is still at war and other energy tech is still being developed.
