Austria rejects gas embargo on Russia

On May 6, local time, according to the Austrian National Radio and Television Station, the European Union is currently discussing the possibility of imposing an embargo on Russian natural gas, which means that stopping the purchase of Russian natural gas will serve as a sanction measure against Russia. However, Austrian Minister of Digital and Economic Affairs Margaret Schrambeck said Austria refused to impose a gas embargo on Russia.

Schrambeck pointed out that the natural gas embargo would do more harm than good, and neither Austria nor Germany could do it.
