According to RIA Novosti, the Austrian chancellor said this in an interview with the APA and DPA agencies.
According to Nehammer, Putin himself raised the topic of gas during the meeting and stated "that the security of the gas supply is ensured, that Russia will deliver the amount specified in the contract and that you can continue to pay in euros."
Earlier, former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl said on RT that the gradual abandonment of Russian energy resources in Germany would take at least five years.
The head of the German concern BASF, Martin Brudermüller, warned that a possible refusal of Russian gas "will stop the wheels of the chemical industry."
It strikes him that "naive moralists" in high positions do not realize the true consequences of such a decision, which is capable of destroying the German economy.
