That is not remotely pulling the plug. This is "thinking about it" again. They already stopped accreditation a few weeks ago, otherwise it would already transport gas as the pipeline is already filled. They just say that they have officially stopped the process which they more or less already did. I think in a year it might come online again if the news cycle is on another topic.

Overall it will be much more expensive for Europe than for Russia. Who do you think will profit the most if gas prices hike?

Recertification now goes through a Green energy minister. This is pretty much pulling the plug.

"green" in so far as having a history of helping the construction of LNG terminals to import american gas.

I think the one that will profit most is China, being the remaining trade partner in a much similar way when most of the world imposed sanctions against north Korea. At the same time this will reduce the impact on prices, since as long China is connected to the global economy then the global supply will still increase when they buy from Russia.

There will be costs associated with transportation for EU, be that from China (as a middle man for Russia) or Canada/US.
