There are a number of story lines here. Most folks are fixated on the fact this suggests the member countries of the EU are united; Russia unable to break up the EU, one of his primary goals, it is often stated.
This is what jumps out at me: "we're" in this for the long haul. The EU sees the war in Ukraine and after-effects of the war lasting a very long time.
Again, to beat a dead horse, the Russians will still sell a lot of (all?) the oil they have for export, but the real issue is Russia's ability to maintain their oil fields without western technology.
