As an European, I'm glad we have lost Russian energy supplies. Only a fool wants to be dependent on a madman like Putin. Half a million Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine for nothing, and there you are still defending them, blaming the West for everything. How pathetic.

Russia is not a victim, it is the aggressor, as it has always been historically. Regardless of its other flaws, Europe is acting very rationally when it comes to Russia and Ukraine right now. We are in deep shit, but surrendering to Russia is not the answer, as it has never been. It would lead to even deeper shit. People who lived under Warsaw Pact generally do not hold very favorable views of Russia, nearly all of those countries joined NATO as soon as they gained independence.

Yeah ok buddy the IMF had nothing to do with it, totally not a proxy war over strategic resources. Putin just went crazy for no reason, everyone in Ukraine was holding hands and singing kumbaya when he invaded lol.
