Hmm, it will be curious to see how this impacts the war. I would think that the gas transits through Ukraine is one the main things that has keep the conflict somewhat limited.
I actually don't expect that there will be much impact myself. The transit meant that Russia had an incentive to leave some energy infrastructure in Ukraine in place, and it provided Ukraine with some income. But overall, it hasn't really played a big role in the conflict overall.

That's a good point. If Russia, or the US saying it's Russia, blows up the infrastructure then it will mean a long term decoupling no matter what anyone wants.
