Gas supplies are safe after its transportation from Russia through Ukraine stopped

Austria confirmed that gas supplies for domestic and industrial use are safe, after the passage of Russian gas through Ukraine stopped on Wednesday due to the expiration of the contract between the Russian “Gazprom” and the Ukrainian “Naftogaz” companies at the beginning of 2025.

Austrian Energy Minister Leonora Gevsler said in a press statement that her country had taken the necessary precautions and prepared well for this situation, which was not surprising.
The company that operates gas distribution networks in Austria, AGGM, announced that the arrival of Russian gas from Slovakia to the Austrian Baumgarten station has been stopped, stressing that domestic gas supplies will not be affected or that there will be any change in prices as a result.
Alphonse Haber, a member of the Board of Directors of the authority responsible for the electricity and natural gas industry, “E-Control,” explained that the missing quantities of gas were replaced with similar amounts from Germany and Italy.
