It really really doesn’t. This is a political thing with Russia, Gazprom and our former chancellor Schröder. The aim (mostly for Russia) is to circumvent Ukraine and thereby remove their opportunity to … acquire … some of what is moved through their territory. As far as I remember Nordstream I isn’t even at capacity.
Sure from a Ukrainian point of view NSII sucks. But it isn’t even close to an existential thing for Germany. The gas dependency is temporary (<15 years) and could also be filled by US LNG. Which is why the US is against NSII
So yeah from a geopolitical point of view this is all very interesting. From an ecological point of view the net impact is close to zero
