Interesting that you fail to mention that Germany - not Russia - ended NS II. You also fail to mention that Germany put massive sanctions on Russia. But Russia is supposed to continue to supply gas to Germany?

Victoria Nuland, while planning the post-2014 coup Ukraine government said - literally - "fuck the EU." That is what the US neocons think of Europe. We (the US) aren't here in Europe to protect you. We're here to control you. We've been doing it for 80 years.

After the fall of the USSR, there was no need for NATO. Instead of disbanding and pulling troops out of Europe and giving the continent a peace dividend, NATO, pushed by the US, expanded and started fully aggressive campaigns (e.g. Serbia) without UN backing.

So yes, our energy prices here in Europe are through the fucking roof. Because the US mafia "protection" provoked a war with Russia and then blew up Nordstream exactly to get this result.
