Europe are and were willing to pay small temporary price for long term peace and stability when dictatorship like Russia is overthrown - and they get an even more expanded market in Eastern Europe.
That is why nobody is listening to Putin threats anymore.
Now with mild winters - Europe get another year to secure their long-term energy needs away from Russia - from Africa and middle east - and even the US.
Biggest beneficiary in long run including Tanzania, Mozambique, Nigeria, Algeria, Morroco and Egypt - who will provide natural gas to Europe and fertilizer to the world.
Meanwhile Putin has been getting his arse kicked since summer - and is trying to secure a victory over a dead city. Yes after 10yrs of civil war and economic turmoil in Russia -
you'll finally understand that war ended in KIEV in 72 hours Putin failed to win it. Now we are back to protracted costly civil war with Ukraine getting arms from NATO while Russia will get more and more sanctions to cripple it economically.
