And when Finland joins, so does Sweden. Own goal there putie.
Noone backtracked.
You're still paying in roubles through GazPromBank - who creates them by dumping Euros from Western company on Moscow Exchange (MICEX) for roubles, strengthening the rouble.
In the process that payment also becomes immune to Western seizures - because roubles are in Russian control, GazProm only ever gets roubles as payment, and Forex trades are anonymous so West has no idea where those Euros went in Russia. This is why Europe is saying that doing so will break their sanctions.
This also makes GazPromBank immune to all sanctions if West wants to keep getting Russian gas - and West still needs to for years - and thus allows to use it as conduit in other deals.

Russia goes full mental and starts invading a country
"you should have planned for all this, everyone knows we are orcs - why didn't you fill your reserves to the brim"
Oh and btw. Gazprom has some control over that, and for "some reason" the gas reserves under their control inside europe were like 50% less filled than in previous years.
Seems to me like you backstabbing orcs planned this whole thing for quite a while now.
Doesn't matter though, because unlike what you think is happening, the only Russian who dictates anything is Putin, and only his own countrymen. Nothing else.
Pig.
For simple reason - you didn't contract extra volumes despite ability to do so. And you sold whatever you've gotten from Russian long-term contracts for profits on spot market (remember all those reverse flows to Poland from Germany?) rather then keep it in storage.
You made your hand weak by your own decisions and now you're blaming Russia for exploiting that - while at the same time gleefully cheering "We've seized your reserves!"

Keep addressing those "pressing" economic issues. Your warcrimes will not be swept under the rug.
dehumanization [diːhjuːmənʌɪˈzeɪʃ(ə)n] NOUN
the process of depriving a person or group of positive human qualities.
"the consequences of systematic dehumanization of one racial group in a society can be horrific"
Yep, what you're doing is dehumanization straight by definition.
