Not everyone in Europe is in a comfortable position where they can care about gas prices more than they care about Russian expansion.

OTOH, not everyone in Europe is in a comfortable position where they can care about Russian expansion more than they care about heating their home.

Pretty much everyone actually. What is the worst consequence of not being able to pay for the heating? In the very extreme case, which could affect a tiny minority of the poorest people, you get broke, and have to apply for welfare. Maybe you'll have to use electric heating and/or wear warm clothes inside for a while. That's about it - nothing comparable to what Ukrainians have to endure.
