Delusional bollocks. Russia selling the gas in rubles staved off the collapse of the ruble vs the USD and EUR by increasing demand for rubles after SWIFT ban and the West dumping all its rubles on the market crashed it hard. Most economists considered gas sales in rubles a masterstroke. A lot of those countries which refused to pay in rubles still owe Russia one month of gas since they only had to pay every end of the month. This includes Poland and Finland.
Russia did not cancel supplies via Yamal pipeline. It was the West which did not order any gas through it and kept clogging up the pipeline with reverse flows from Germany to Poland. And these retards still think Russia blew its own NS1 and NS2 pipelines. Siemens also proved their ineptitude since they can't even service the gas turbines they produce in their own facilities.
Russia did not "use energy as a weapon". In fact it was the EU which tried to use its position as a large energy consumer to act as if they were a monopsony with things like the price cap on oil. Most countries in Russia's position would have stopped energy sales and trade with Europe, given they are actively supporting the other side in a military conflict Russia is in, on its own border to boot, with weapons equipment, and cash. And the US clearly sabotaged the gas supply in Germany with little concern for their supposed ally's lives and in fact bilked them to death on LNG. So who used energy as a weapon here.
