The issue is complex. Now there is a US president who wants to control all energy supplies to Europe while still talking about new oil deals with Russia:
Nord Stream has been sabotaged, a huge US LNG deal was forced on the EU in the tariff negotiations. The US leased a corridor from Azerbaijan through Armenia to Turkey that could be a new energy choke point for fossil fuels from Azerbaijan or Turkmenistan (lots of natural gas) to the EU.
The EU is in a pretty bad position right now where it can be blackmailed with energy cutoffs not by Russia but by the US.
The Ukrainians can't feel betrayal because they have kept their own transit pipeline open until 2025, long after Nord Stream was blown up (allegedly by Ukrainians on a sail boat, see the recent arrests).
