    Russia restricting Austria's gas supplies

    I have made a quick search if other European countries suffered also a drop in supply.

    According to the energy regulator E-Control, Gazprom supplied Austria 15 percent less gas than had been previously agreed.

    Similar issues have hit Poland, which has seen their supplies cut by 45 percent, and Slovakia, which has ten percent less gas than expected for the period.
    I don't know how this compares to previous episodes, it might be just coincidence, but I think most will be rather sceptical. The Kremlin plays with the trust posed in it's role as supplier, which was formed during the cold war.

    In any case tomorrow the new EU sanctions should be put in place. I'm curious what kind of counter-sanctions to expect from the East. After the food bans I would not rule out a lot.
