Reply to comment by RawSteelUT in Russian President Vladimir Putin unwittingly accelerated the European Union’s green transition with his war in Ukraine, with the 27-nation bloc reducing its dependency on Russian fossil fuels and increasing its renewable energy use over the past year, the EU’s climate czar said Tuesday. by MrGuttFeeling

That was Putin's rationale too - he expected that Europe won't deny itself access to Russia's gas, and also renewable energy was growing anyway, so that leverage would disappear eventually
