Russian gas exports through Ukraine to Europe - the main transit route for the gas to the EU - were stable on Monday, according to Kremlin-controlled energy company Gazprom , despite the company cutting off gas supplies to Austria's OMV .

Austrian utility OMV says supplies from Russia’s state-owned natural gas company Gazprom stopped early Saturday after the company said it would stop payments for the gas following an arbitration award.

Russia's state-owned natural gas supplier said it won't send any more gas to Austria after Saturday, but Austrian officials say that won't be a problem.
