Yes but WE NEVER DEPENDED ON RUSSIA for our gas supplies. Britain imported less than 3% of its gas/eneegy supply from Russia (that's very low and almost insignificant) last year for example because unlike Germany we were smart enough to know that you don't make your adversary/rival the main supplier of your critical energy needs. That's just stupidity to the highest order. Its like Pakistan making india its main energy supplier, or China relying on the US for vast majority of something important as its energy needs, Or turkey relying on Greece for its energy needs. Do you see how stupid that is now?
We and the US warned Germany several times against this but they kept pushing for Russian energy supplies and new pipelines from Russia to Europe. If not for Germany, Europe will not be in the situation they are today. If they had follow our strategy Europe wont be in this high energy prices scenario the way we are today now due to Russia who uses that to blackmail Europe(this is exactly what U.S and UK were warning Germany about for decades but they wouldnt listen.). Anyway better late than never , now they have realised their mistake, it won't happen again. This war has been a good thing in this aspect , it has made Germany realised we were right all along and they have changed their policy today and for the foreseeable future. No more major Russian energy supplier to Europe ever again. We will adjust with time short term pain long term gain..as for Russia, well im afraid long term they will be even more affected . .
Oil and gas are Russia's key exports, and Western sanctions in response to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine are having a significant effect

If only European countries had followed our lead and example we wouldnt be here today.
We are affected by high energy supplies today because global prices of energy has gone up , so obviously it affects us like almost every country out there.
