it's a sequel to popular predictions like the Euro will collapse tomorrow, the EU will collapse, Germany will be de-industrialized, with renewable energy the grid will collapse, ... and much more. It's largely part of a propaganda war.
Given that Russia used his energy exports to Europe as a weapon, things are getting more expensive and complicated, but Russia has failed so far to achieve its goals. One of these goals was to destabilize European countries with propaganda and energy shortages.
Germany hosts now a million refugees from the Ukraine and billions of Euros are being spend to provide help and to dampen the economic impact. A large part of the population sees that life gets more expensive. Countries like Poland are even more affected.
Positive effects: the need for the EU and NATO is clearer than ever. Also positive: the US provides a lot of support, thanks to the Biden administration.

Not saying there's no problems, but a beneficial system can self-correct for more benefit.
