No. Russia has steadily been increasing its gas supplies to Germany, it's just that Germany b/c of the Energiewende (a.k.a. "the world's d*st energy policy" [1]) has been increasing its gas demand even more. Germany is gobbling up the largest share of the world's exported gas market (~>10%) [2].

Russia's share of Germany's gas imports just increased again to more than 55% this year [3] – and this is pre NordStream 2.
