Russia stops sending gas to Austria.

Austria’s biggest gas company, OMV, says that Russia does not send enough gas. They want Russia to pay money because of this. But Austria says it has enough gas in storage for now. Russia still sends gas to some countries in Europe through Ukraine. But Ukraine will stop this at the end of the year. Some countries, like Slovakia, are asking for more gas.

Before the war in Ukraine, Russia sells a lot of gas to Europe. Now, countries like Germany get gas from other countries, like Norway and the US.

Difficult words: gas (fuel for energy), storage (a place to keep something to use later).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What actions are countries like Slovakia and Germany taking in response to Russia's decreased gas supply?
