Are you implying that Russia does not lose economically with the destruction of NS2?
Nothing was flowing through it at the time and nothing was expected to flow to it for a long time due to sanctions.
If we pretend that EU sanctions would be leaving the equation soon, then it makes sense. EU sanctions will likely still remain even if Ukraine gives up, though. The Russian-EU relationship is fractured for a long time and the gas flows will be restricted during that time period (it's the only card Russia has to play).

IMO, it would have been a very strong bargaining chip for Russia come winter.
Not any longer.
Seems like a better deal for the west to cut ALL ties with Russia.
