It's hugely positive for Ukraine. They'd have done it on day-one if it wouldn't have looked bad. Less income for Russia, less for Russia to divide its allies with.

This is a strong negative for Russia. They had control of the pipeline and thus could dangle the offer of gas, now they cannot. Their leverage is gone.

That positive was gained when Russia closed NS1 supply, which was due to end on German terms.

After that win, it was set in stone that Germany was done with Russian gas.

"done"? why would you just make shit up? 42 million cubic meters per day are moving from Russia through Ukraine to Germany right now.
