The head of the Ministry of Energy of Austria: the country's dependence on Russian gas has fallen below 50%

“We have reduced our dependence on Russian natural gas to less than 50%,” Gewessler tweeted.

Earlier, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced the impossibility of imposing an embargo on gas from Russia.

He explained this by the dependence of Austrian and German industries on Russian gas.

Associate Professor of the Department of International Commerce of the RANEPA under the President of Russia Tamara Safonova commented on this statement in an interview with RT.
