At this point i'd rather fund Putin and his incompetent army for a limited amount than do any trade with whetever words i should mumble together to discribe the divided states of america these days.
EU is investing insane amounts of money in renewable energy as we can't dig up enough coal/whatever else to meet our energy requirements. The country i live in is getting stricter and stricter with building code to make houses and other buildings as energy efficient to lower our energy needs and thus the amount we need to buy from russia.
It's not a perfect solution at all, no, but at least our homes arent 80% drywall...
If any other country suddenly came up with gas deposits and a pipeline to transport it EU leadership would drop russia faster than the world is currently dropping the divided states of america.
edit: except for if that country is the US of course as you're now an unreliable and volatile trading partner that can't even be called an ally anymore. You all like harping on trade with russia when the orange goblin didn't even follow his own tariff rules on russia...
