Since when did Russia really care about that?
Since they proposed using nuclear weapons to kill all the bacteria in Ukraine to clean up the environment?
Come to think of it now, US has much to gain from this as well. Albeit, not the reasons mentioned by OP.
We all know the gas supplies to the EU have been keeping the Russian war machine going in terms of money. Granted, they have been waning off, but are still a significant amount. The US could not force the the EU to shut the gas off as quickly as it wanted, and Russia also did not want a total halt of gas supplies, after all, they have to fund the war.
So how else could the US stop Russia getting money from the EU, and stop the supplies?
The pipelines were already shut down.
