Summary
Austria will lose its primary gas supplier as Gazprom halts deliveries this weekend following a contractual dispute, where OMV claimed €230 million in owed gas.
Austria, historically reliant on Russian gas—up to 98% in late 2023—has prepared by securing imports from Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, with full storage facilities ensuring no disruption.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer reaffirmed the country’s commitment to Ukraine, rejecting “blackmail” and citing Gazprom’s attempts to pressure Austria over EU sanctions.

They still bought 98% of their needs from Russia in 2023? Ok that’s cheaper but they can weaponize it…
There’s no excuse for Austria to be buying Russian NG this late in the game.
Austria should be sanctioned like Hungary.
What for? What did they do?
