They may have enough and get enough gas to survive, but their industry is going to be decimated. I hope you don’t like German cars, guns, or optics. That schit is all going bye-bye for the time being at least. Probably longer than that for the weaker companies.
German officials are pretty much saying that the Nord Stream II was deliberate cut/damaged by a state actor. Ukraine doesn’t have access to the North Sea. It would make no sense for Russia to do it since they could cut it off at the source with no actual damage and keeping it operational gives them some leverage. That leaves Poland and the U.S.
How does that 'leave the U.S.'? Could be anybody else in the area, lots of states have trained saboteurs.

You’re going to need some pretty good head standing to explain why Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the likes of those countries would want to sabotage those gas lines.
I can only speak for Norway as I've been there. They are more or less socialist. They are a green country primarily. They get alot of their energy from hydroelectric. Ironically Norway has off shore oil rigs that drives the economy.

It's easy to be green when you have the money from natural resources.
FRANKFURT, Germany -- As Europe heads into winter in the throes of an energy crisis, offices are getting chillier. Statues and historic buildings are going dark. Bakers who can't afford to heat their ovens are talking about giving up, while fruit and vegetable growers face letting greenhouses stand idle.
In poorer eastern Europe, people are stocking up on firewood, while in wealthier Germany, the wait for an energy-saving heat pump can take half a year. And businesses don't know how much more they can cut back.
“We can’t turn off the lights and make our guests sit in the dark,” said Richard Kovacs, business development manager for Hungarian burger chain Zing Burger. The restaurants already run the grills no more than necessary and use motion detectors to turn off lights in storage, with some stores facing a 750% increase in electricity bills since the beginning of the year.
More than 4000 phone calls by Russian soldiers from Ukraine to home were obtained by the NYT. In these phone calls Russian soldiers complained that their top officers ordered them to kill civilians and everything that they saw.
