They wouldn't give up the income from gas. Your theory doesn't make sense. They would either raise prices, close pipeline or invent some other excuse. Note that Russia is still merrily selling gas to Europe.

but not on the scale it has before and germany for example is free of russian gas. They are bleeding money

But that wouldn't be because Russia wanted it. And I'm not sure that Germany is really free from Russian gas, it's a mess, probably they are still getting some but at much higher cost. https://energyandcleanair.org/december-2023-monthly-analysis-on-russian-fossil-fuel-exports-and-sanctions/
