Yes, but at least Germany is going to end its contracts with Putin (Austria is almost certain to continue purchasing until 2025: the oligarchy here is of the 'either we do it, or somebody else will'-kind, which is typically short-sighted, to the level of being plain stupid).

In turn, alone constructing the infrastructure necessary to bolster exports to the PRC is going to take years (and massive investment). Plus, western Siberia is closer to the EU than the PRC....

Overall, there are lots of options. I only have a feeling that the relations between the EU and Russia are not going to recover for the next 1-2 decades.
