The way they implement this "embargo" indeed is made to backfire. When a product, good, commodity becomne srare, prices go u. They annoucned they will increased the shortage in energy in 7 months form now on, additonal to the very serious monetarian and economic crisis we already are i. The prices will go up steeply, i have little doubt.
And Putin's best man in Europe, Orban, already tries to torpedoe the slow compromise the eU reached with him just recently by now putting it in doubt again if he does not get another detail he demands, that is that there shall be no sanctiuonsing of Russia's religious war propagandist Kyrill.
Time is working for Russia here, the cracks and gaps in the EU's unity front are undeniable and will widen the more time passes by. Whether it will hold until the war ends or not depends on how long the war will last in the end. Here is anothe rmotive why the EU is likely to accept a dictated peace by Russia, than the ukriane, or America. It wants to bring the showact to an end before it has the chance to see the stage collapsing.
