Austria threatens to take gas storage from Gazprom! Russia conducts covert mobilization! Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said that if Russia's Gazprom does not fill the largest gas storage facility Haidach in Salzburg, "we will take it from them for other providers." According to him, now a strategic gas reserve is being created in Austria. “Gas storage tanks are filling up. And we will make sure that in case the Russian Gazprom does not fill up our largest storage facility (Haidach in Salzburg is “owned” by the Moscow energy giant and is now de facto empty – approx. Kronen Zeitung), we will take it from them for other providers!" Nehammer said. "The question is how can we reduce energy prices. This requires discussing the separation of gas and electricity prices at the European level," the Chancellor added. Russia is conducting covert mobilization and removing old equipment from storage, which can only conditionally be called combat. Kirill Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, stated this on the air of the national telethon. "Russia is carrying out covert mobilization. It goes in two ways. The first is actual actions, which are called covert mobilization. The second is the use of reservists. They call it BARS - the country's combat army reserve. That is, in fact, these reservists are attracted on short-term contracts to perform fighting," he said. According to Budanov, these facts are absolutely confirmed - Ukraine has prisoners who were involved in this system. He also gave two reasons why Russia does not announce mobilization publicly. The first is economic, mobilization will hit the Russian economy even more in the face of sanctions.The second is that Russia will not be able to explain why mobilization is needed if Russian officials claim that everything is "going according to plan" for the Russian army. “Since they don’t have answers to these two questions, they are doing it in an exclusively covert way,” the head of the GUR said. The head of the GUR also noted that Russia is considering changes to the legislation so that the conscription is not twice a year, but at any time when necessary. The issue of increasing responsibility for evaders is also being considered. “People are trying en masse to avoid going to war in Ukraine,” he explained. In addition, Budanov confirmed that Russia has a significant shortage of military equipment, it will reopen equipment from warehouses that have been standing there since the 1960s and 80s. According to him, after such a long storage, this equipment "can only conditionally be called combat." As an example, he cited a case in the 810th Marine Brigade in the temporarily occupied Crimea, in which only 14% of equipment went to the training ground, although on paper there was a staffing of 100%. The Russian Federation is deploying additional artillery units to the border areas of the Bryansk region in order to increase provocative shelling in the Chernihiv region, according to the morning summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the Slobozhansky direction, the enemy is regrouping units, replenishing their stocks of weapons and fuel. They also tried to gain a foothold in the Aleksandrovka area (the Liman direction). Unsuccessfully stormed the direction of the settlement Orekhovo. In the Novopavlovsk and Zaporozhye directions, the enemy fired artillery at our troops along the entire line and conducted aerial reconnaissance using UAVs.In the Voronezh and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation, the effect of an increased level of terrorist threat has been extended until May 25, 2022. #AustrianChancellor #InternationalNews #KirillBudanov #KarlNehammer #WorldNews #News #War #Ukraine #America #Canada #UnitedKingdom #China #France #Stars #Cinema #Politics #Business #Investments #Thewholeworld #USA #Novopavlovsk #Austria #RussianFederation #GeneralStaff #ArmedForcesofUkraine
