I am not "blaming" Germany I am simply pointing out the political reality. If the voters of EU countries don't want to make sacrifices to keep the pressure on Putin, and there is no doubt keeping the pressure on Putin this winter is going to significantly hurt EU economies; then the politicians will follow their lead. Germany is in a particularly bad spot because their highly industrialized export oriented economy is heavily dependent on Russian gas.
