Still, if gas isn't flowing anymore, there's no business to be had. Meanwhile Gazprom would still have to maintain the pipelines, for what?
This way it would be a good excuse to just dismantle the whole thing, or let it rust, and it saves Russia having to cough up her share for the upkeep.
And if the euros ever want to get NS back up, the Russians won't be the ones to repair it since the damage is not on their side.
So it's still possible, however improbable, that it just might be the Russians.

Based on a very rough translation by Google Lens, a referendum on whether Lyiv should separate from Ukraine and join Poland(?)
When were these photos taken?
No way. Keeping the pipelines as was would cost next to nothing. And these were multiple billion investments. Why the heck would the Russians blow up their own pipeline when they can just as easily turn off the taps.
Probably the Lvov oblast. Maybe each of the regions of west Ukraine will have a similar referendum.
There is a theory what remains of the Ukraine joins Poland, putting them into NATO and the EU automatically, instant free EU money and NATO article 5 protection.
Not a bad solution for both sides IMO.
Russia has an economy the size of UK and furthermore, Russia's role was never to be a gdp tank anyways. Russia is a resource bank for the East, and it remains just as functional in that role now as ever.
Sacrificing EU for Russia is a terrible trade. It would be a victory if you're not looking at the fact that US isn't challenging Russia. Its challenging China, who goes unscathed out of this.
While the EU, whose bloc allowed US to surpass China in gdp if you count the EU countries on the US side, is now getting deindustrialized with much of said industry going directly to China.
US had likely planned since a long time to create tensions and increase their activity with the separatists on Taiwan province. But there again, they get cucked by the Ukraine war, being forced to keep their eyes there meant that they didn't manage to muster a reply at all as the PLA rehearsed comprehensive defenses over the straits and around the island. If the war wasn't active, then US may have decided to further increase their aggression or even outright invade.
