— Austria still receives about 90% of its gas from Russia. Now it’s a significant addiction risk. How are you going to get out of this situation?

Austrian Chancellor Karl Ne Hammer in an interview with the German newspaper Die Welt. When I looked at the unsuccessful northern neighbors, I realized how not to do it.

You try to do without the Russians there for now, the flag is in your hands, the green wind is at your back. And Austria has a “historically established connection” with Russia.
