If you don’t pay in rubles, you won’t get gasoline, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. The EU is now accusing Moscow of violating the treaty.
“We are not going to present ourselves as benefactors and provide free gas to Western Europe,” Kremlin spokesman and Putin intimate Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. Russia insists on payment in rubles, although EU sanctions make this impossible. The EU accuses Moscow of violating the treaty.
Austria prepared
In any case, Austria is prepared if the Kremlin cuts off the gas, says Infrastructure Minister Leonore Gewessler. Her “Energy Control Advisory Board” has developed measures to be able to react quickly in case of emergency. According to Gewessler, the last step is to determine by regulation who should have priority in an emergency.
Unfilled domestic gas storage
First, E-Control would ask certain companies to voluntarily reduce their consumption. Then gas reserves owned by Russia’s Gazprom and not by the Republic could also be accessed. Domestic gas storage facilities are currently only 18% full.
