European commissioner for energy talking on Austrian radio

Elsewhere EU Commission spokesperson Sabine Berger says that gas supplies are currently stable

  • EU is working on a solution that could help Ukraine pay for its energy supplies
  • expects Russia to respect gas supply commitments to EU and Ukraine to respect transit commitments

And:

  • German econ ministry sees no reason to fear that German natural gas supplies should be reduced because of the Ukraine crisis

The stand-off continues, and doesn’t look like going away any time soon
