VIENNA, April 14 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin told Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer when they met this week that Austria’s supply of gas from Russia is safe and the country can continue to pay for it in euros, Nehammer told national news agency APA.
Nehammer met Putin near Moscow on Monday and had until now not publicly mentioned their discussion on Austria’s security of gas supply.
The country obtains 80% of its natural gas from Russia and opposes an immediate European Union gas embargo on Russia, arguing it is not possible for the time being.
