Is there really nothing the EU or NATO can do to stop Russian vessels cutting energy and communication cables at the Baltic sea?

These are propaganda coups for the Russians. They're dragging anchors and getting away with it.

Can't EU countries block Russian vessels navigating the Baltic sea?

To access the Baltic sea from the North sea any ship must cross the Danish straits. Same question.

It gives the impression they're winning and makes the EU and NATO look weak.

Russian vessels could accidentally sink. I heard these are not in a very good condition.
- The only country sinking russian war ships is Ukraine. US betrayed and EU won't do much of anything to really help beyond bare min required to save face.
- However, that wouldn't be good for the fragile ecosystem in the Baltic sea.
  
  What about they sink in the port, in Mediterranean, and other places? Only by accident of course.

The EU doesn't want to be at war with Russia.
Russia also should really not want to be at war with the EU, but as you noticed, they don't seem to care much about what they should do. If they fuck around enough, they may find out, but they are betting they won't.

For balance, the last time this happened, when people were calling for nukes on Moscow, Sweden investigated, decided it was not deliberate, and released the ship

Russia shot down a plane with EU citizens on board who died...
EU and NATO tucked their dicks and went back to jerking off in the corner while Russia proceeded with its Ukraine incursions.
EU are pathetic cucks and NATO lost its leader.

Place sea mines defending the cables. Post maps for civilian ships to keep out of the mine zones. Anyone goes near the cables anyway? Well, you were warned.

Weren't the last few culprits Chinese ships?
- Chinese ships, Russian crews, All Registered In Ireland!
  ~~American components, Russian components, All Made In Taiwan!~~

I hope the ships will be inspected around denmark-sweden and rejected if deemed unseaworthy.
