Russia cuts off gas supply to Italy From Saturday, Eni Says.
Gazprom is not able to confirm the gas volumes requested for today, stating that it is not possible to supply gas through Austria. Today s Russian gas supplies to Eni will be zero through the Tarvisio entry point, Eni SpA, Italy's largest oil company, said in a statement on its website on Saturday.
An Eni spokesman said Austria appeared to be receiving gas from Gazprom.
The spokesman said that we are working to check with Gazprom whether it is possible to reactivate the flows to Italy.
European countries have been rushing to find alternatives to Russian gas and protect themselves against supply interruptions, as Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to choke off energy to the continent to put pressure on the EU over several rounds of sanctions in response to the invasion of Ukraine.
US President Joe Biden echoed the assessment of Western European leaders that the pipelines were sabotaged and added that Russian statements about the incident shouldn't be trusted.
