Those sanctions are working well then.
Putin turns off the taps: Russia cuts off gas to Bulgaria and Poland in toughest response yet to Western sanctions, pushing European gas prices up 24%.

It will be cold winters starting from the end of this year for many Europeans.
But let's all continue to pretend we can build a billion wind farms, solar panels and nuclear power plants in the mean time.
Yeah! Russia should just accept being shut off from everything whilst we still get our gas, how dare they respond?!
I'm not justifying the Ukraine invasion, but the finger pointing by politicians in the west is truly astonishing.
Basically they fucked us over for decades pretending we can go green when we can't.
Many of us excelled in improving living standards by switching to service industries and letting poorer countries do manufacturing for us.
But to pretend we can continue down this path without energy is utter bollocks!
I expect to see much more of this, especially by the winter: "Putin and Bitcoin are the reasons why you can't afford your gas and electricity prices, nothing to do with us. Oh you want a nuclear power plant? Sorry, we are too busy sending 1000 tanks to Ukraine."

European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the move 'yet another attempt by Russia to use gas as an instrument of blackmail. This is unjustified and unacceptable.'

Your argumentation is all over the place.
Russia unilaterly changes an agreement saying that gas shall be paid in USD, to Rubles, the counterpart insists with sticking to the agreement, Russia then breaks the agreement and shuts of the gas, and in your mind that is somehow fair.
And I fail to see why giving aid to Ukraine is in opposition to building power plants.
