It's not a surprise. There are certain players in the gas market. Don't forget that governments work for corporations, not for people. Corporations want the cheapest of the cheapest for their profits, and politicians want more cuts. Whoever offers the cheapest good (gas in this case) will eventually get sold. Even though they tell people that the EU is putting sanctions on Russia, their puppet (Greece) carries Russian gas to the EU. This is how the world works.

And do people want the cheapest of the cheap for own survival? Could it be that interests overlap here?

Of course not. The average citizen can't wait to sacrifice their livelihood to show it to Putin.

People LOVE to take cold showers while feeling morally superior to the evil Russians.

In the light of continued trade and companies like Apple and Unilever continuing to operate in Russia you I am inclined to be cynical about sanctions.
