They're banning Russia from SWIFT and Germany is now sending 1,000 antitank and 500 stinger missiles to Ukraine. The latter will kill a lot of Russians and save a lot of Ukrainians, even though Germans aren't standing in the line of fire.
It is pretty unlikely that Russia won't retaliate economically and I can't see any way this continues and people would support EU governments sending money to Russia for energy.
Provided Putin's government doesn't crumble soon the gas exports are getting shut down one way or another, it just hasn't happened today. Probably not the kind of thing you want to turn off with the flick of a switch without giving people time to prepare -- there are probably many thousands of workers around the EU working out plans for when the Russian gas gets turned off.
