Note that Federal Chancellor Karl Negammer previously stated that approximately 80% of the natural gas used in Austria for energy production – Russian. The government is taking steps to get rid of this addiction, but this is not a quick process.

In particular, Russian missiles arrived in Vasilievka today.

Thus, the infidels are once again trying to convince civilians of their outright lies that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are firing at civilians, writes in the OVA telegram channel.

The administration adds that residents of Vasilyevka do not believe such provocations.

Pay attention , Russian infidels shelled Zaporozhye at about 7 am. Two cruise missiles flew past the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. This could lead to a nuclear catastrophe.

Russia stops gas supplies to Bulgaria as well/Channel 24 Collage

Today, April 26, the Russian “Gazprom” informed the Bulgarian gas company “Bulgargaz” about the termination of gas supplies. The countries terminated the preliminary contracts from April 27.

As noted in the Ministry of Energy of Bulgaria, now the country is working on options for alternative energy suppliers. The ministry emphasized that the country would not have to restrict gas consumption.

Another country refused Russian gas

The statement of the ministry emphasizes that Bulgaria fully fulfilled its obligations and made all payments required under the contract. They added that the transfer of the agreed amounts took place in a timely manner, strictly and in accordance with the clauses of the contract.

However, after analysis, it was found that the new two-stage payment procedure, which provides for the use of special accounts in Russian banks, does not comply with the current contract and creates serious risks for Bulgaria.

On the morning of April 27 Minister of Energy Alexander Nikolov will make a statement on the current situation.

Recall , On April 26, the Polish state-owned gas company PGNiG announced that Gazprom Export LLC will stop deliveries of Russian gas to Poland on April 27. However, Polish importers reduced the intake of gas from Russia throughout April. Now the country has the necessary gas reserves and sources of supply that protect its security.

In the meantime, Hungary will pay for gas in rubles: details in the video

Morawiecki says that Poland is ready to give up gas/Collage 24 channel

According to media reports, Russia has stopped supplying gas to Poland and Bulgaria. The reason is the refusal to pay in Russian rubles. In Warsaw, however, they assure that the Poles can do without Russian blue fuel.

According to the Polish media, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki made such a statement during a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The head of government also confirmed that Russia blocked gas supplies.

There were threats from Russia, Morawiecki

Yes, I confirm that we received such threats from Russia, from Gazprom. They are connected with the method of payment – Poland complies with the terms of the contract and, perhaps, Russia will try to punish us in this way, – said Morawiecki.

The Polish prime minister assured that Warsaw had already prepared to receive gas in different directions. Morawiecki is confident that even before the launch of the Baltic gas pipeline, the Poles will be able to effectively protect their own economy.

Poles' gas needs can be met

Piotr Naimsky, Commissioner of the Polish Cabinet of Ministers for Energy Infrastructure, also supports the prime minister's position. He says that the Poles will receive gas at the same level as before.

All our gas needs can be met in other directions. We planned to stop supplies from Russia at the end of December 2022, as the long-term Yamal contract ends, but the Russians have accelerated this, Naimsky said.

What is known about Russia's gas blackmail:

• Russia tried to circumvent Western sanctions by demanding payment for gas in Russian rubles. However, this situation did not suit other countries.
• The EU and the G7 refused to pay in this way.
• At the same time, Hungary said that it was not averse to paying for blue fuel in the Russian currency.
• After that, the European Commission sent a letter to Budapest, indicating that such a move would be a violation of the sanctions.
