Nope, most Western countries have inflation in the 8% range, although as always you can quibble about what's being measured etc. Also, Russia has already turned off the gas taps to Poland, Bulgaria and by the end of this week most likely to Finland. However, European countries can substitute (with varying degrees of pain), while it's physically impossible for Russia to export that gas elsewhere, meaning any cuts to exports hit them hard in the pocketbook. At the end of the day, it's pretty much the world vs Russia right now, and the world will absorb the economic blows better than Russia can.
