sanctions have backfired on europe - russia swimming in cash, page-56

I freely admit I don't know too much but you don't need to to see russia is in a very precarious position financially and insults won't change that .

But also you can't make money from gas if you don't sell it .
Russia is weaponising the gas - add this lie to the list of russian lies :

Russia's gas pipeline to Germany will not reopen as planned on Saturday, state energy firm Gazprom has said.

Moscow denies using energy supplies as an economic weapon in retaliation for Western sanctions imposed following Russia's invasion.

It has blamed the sanctions for holding up routine maintenance of Nord Stream 1, but the EU says this is a pretext.
