VIENNA — Russia ’s state-owned natural gas company Gazrom will cut off supplies to Austria ’s OMV utility early Saturday, Austria ’s chancellor said, adding that his country’s underground gas storage was full and that it had alternative, non- Russia supplies.
“Our gas storage facilities are full and we have sufficient capacity to obtain gas from other regions,” Nehammer said in a hastily called appearance at the chancellery. “We cannot be blackmailed.” European governments had to scramble to line up alternative supplies at higher prices, much of it liquefied natural gas brought by ship from the U.S. and Qatar.
