Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) was a bleak site as investors brace for additional Russian sanctions. At the end of the session, the benchmark index finished 1.02% lower at 7,038.6 points.

In an abrasive start to the week, the Aussie market showed little in the way of optimism with nine of the 11 sectors closing lower. The pain was mostly felt by the tech sector as investors decided to continue their shift out of risk-on investments.

Fortunately, the energy corner of the index thrived under the conditions, as concerns of a constrained oil supply mount. From this, share prices across oil, gas, and coal companies were bid higher.

However, the question is: which shares managed to stay in the green on the ASX today? Here are the top ten stocks that pulled through for investors:
