That is correct, the EU is currently still importing vast amounts of LNG from Russia through third parties while pretending to be cutting gas imports from Russia. These “plans” EU had were not realistic in any way, shape, or form. It’s just political posturing for the benefit of the people who don’t understand how energy markets work.
Germany did stop supply of gas from Russia voluntarily, however blowing up the pipeline ensured that it could not resume doing so when they realized how utterly fucked they were without cheap energy.
The prices for gas internationally did not magically go up because of the war. They went up as a direct result of the actions that western powers took.
