No doubt there will be diffucult problems during this transition. But it has to be borne, as removing the dependency on Russia is an absolute strategic necessity.

Europe’s choice, but I don’t see the necessity. Russia’s gas supply to Europe was (and still is) as reliable as ANY energy supply in history - far more reliable than the Middle East, for example.
Russia’s policy is that you pay for it, you get the gas. It’s the US and much of the West that plays games with other countries to advance their agenda.
