As announced, the Austrian oil, gas and chemicals group OMV is no longer receiving natural gas from the Russian energy group Gazprom. Gas supplies to OMV were stopped at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning, the Austrian regulatory authority E-Control announced. OMV confirmed the delivery stop. Nevertheless, gas is still flowing to Europe and Austria via Ukraine, albeit in reduced quantities. „The volumes arriving at the Baumgarten hub are currently reduced by twelve to 15 percent,“ said the head of the authority, Alfons Haber.
