Russian Gas Supplies to EU Steady Despite Austria Dispute

Gazprom's halt in gas deliveries to Austria's OMV raises concerns over EU energy security.

Russian gas exports to the EU via Ukraine remain stable, with Gazprom maintaining a steady flow of 42.4 million cubic meters.
The dispute began when Gazprom stopped gas deliveries to Austria's OMV after a contractual disagreement, causing EU gas prices to rise.
Austrian Foreign Minister accused Russia of using energy as a political tool, while the EU claims to be prepared for potential supply issues.
Austria's gas storage is reportedly over 90% full, but the halt has reduced Russian supplies by up to 15%, impacting regional energy dynamics.
The EU is exploring alternative energy sources and potential deals with Azerbaijan to mitigate reliance on Russian gas.
