MOSCOW: Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced on Wednesday that the new ruble gas payment mechanism, which Russia unveiled earlier this month, has been accepted and would be followed.
"We, that is, OMV (state energy firm), as well as the German government, agreed on the payment mechanism. The terms were deemed to be in compliance with the sanctions' conditions. This was crucial for us "According to RT, he mentioned this at a press conference. However, Austria continues to support anti-Russia sanctions relating to Ukraine, according to Nehammaer.
"Of course, OMV continues to pay for gas deliveries from Russia in euros before the phoney news of Russian propaganda kicks in," he said. Austria agrees with the viewpoint and supports the European Union measures that were agreed upon jointly." He said, the Austrian oil and gas corporation OMV has already set up a payment transfer account with a Russian bank. During his recent visit to Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin detailed the new payment process to Nehammer and guaranteed him uninterrupted gas deliveries.
