Pure insanity.
The money the government or the EU in this case, has, comes from corporations who pay taxes or people who work for the corporations and then pay taxes.
The government financially supporting corporations is just giving the profits of one company to another company. Which does exactly nothing to make the economy at large better. It also punishes successful corporations, because they now have to pay for the losses of other sectors.
What is desperately needed are better conditions for business. First and foremost the electricity prices have to come down. You can not have successful industry with electricity prices this high. The entire continent is suffering from it yet the measures taken to do anything about it are miniscule.
Europe needs energy production right now to keep it's industry afloat.

Energy prices in Europe went up because US didn't want Europe to import cheap gas from its natural neigbour continent.
Everybody who really wants knows which country benefited the most from the Nordstream pipeline being destroyed.
Of course I agree with all the other points that you have made, but at least this part wasn't just Brussels administration.

You can say Russia. And there are also EU citizens who are not happy about the war in Europe and want to sanction Russia, but sure nobody wants to pay for that.

The war is the result of EU and USA actions also. It wasn't Russia that staged a bloody coup in Ukraine to place their puppets on the throne. Minsk agreements were on the table for many years also, yet they decided that pumping Ukrainian regime with weapons and provoking a war is better than let Donbass residents the right to elect their own governor and secure their right to speak their mother tongue

Which sovereign country has the EU invaded to secure their territorial claims against Russia?

No, it didn't. Prices went up because Germany planned to use Russian gas while it was transitioning to renewable energy. Russia decided to attack Ukraine though and made that impossible.

Ukraine obviously, who now had an insurance that a deal between Germany and Russia was impossible.

Why should anyone care? Market forces always crush some companies and advance others. This has always been the case.
