This is reported by RIA Novosti, referring to the head of the Austrian company OMV Alfred Stern. He commented on calls to impose an embargo on gas from Russia.
“No, it is impossible to refuse Russian gas if we are not ready to accept huge consequences. Some countries could do it, but in Austria it is not possible this year. We are in a difficult position, we cannot just get out of Russian gas,” he said.
For Austria, even hypothetical support from the United States cannot be an option. The country does not have access to the ocean, which means that there is no access to the supply of American liquefied natural gas. Building a new LNG supply infrastructure will be very expensive.
