Russia doesn’t need Europe any more. They have other customers in India and China. It’s been stated that Putin was fed up with what Europe and NATO did and if you listen to his speeches - not the ones translated from the MSM - but the official ones from The Kremlin, you know that this winter would be the start of many bad ones for Europe and it’s people. By the way. Have a look what St Petersburg is trialing this Winter. Heated walkways. Amazing.
I agree that they don’t need Europe right now, but supplying gas provides a good revenue stream and gives them political leverage. It’s in Russia’s interest to maintain this relationship long term.
