There is only one likely culprit.
Nordstream 2 isn't even online yet and Germany has managed to survive the past couple of years.
There is enough capacity already through existing Eastern European pipelines to keep Europe warm...
NordStream 1 and 2 were about not having to pay transit fees through those countries.
Russia maximizes economic pain hitting the pipelines.
Edit) They are losing this war and are trying to play any bit of leverage they have.
