Russians will save hundreds of $Billions in arbitration courts because this was an act of God/Terrorism... so they will get insurance money and dont have to pay for Gas not Delivered.
Putin saves life a little longer, as other Oligarchs can't kill him of, and promise Europe to change country and open them to sell Gas to get fresh money that they desperately need.
Putin’s long term gas strategy lies in The Power Of Siberia gas pipeline that is tying into China and is presently at the Chinese border.
Putin knows that his ass has just about been fried with Europe needing Russian gas.
Of course with a regime change in Russia those pipelines can be easily and quickly repaired allowing Europe the option of taking Russian gas again.
