MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia halted gas supplies to Austria on Saturday in a dispute over payments but was still pumping steady volumes to Europe via Ukraine after remaining buyers asked for more gas. Russia, which before the Ukraine war was the biggest single supplier of natural gas to Europe, has lost almost all of its European customers as the EU tries to reduce its dependence and after the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany was blown up in 2022. Now one of the last main Russian gas routes to Europe - the Soviet-era Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod pipeline via Ukraine - is due to shut at the end of this year, as Kyiv does not want to extend a five-year transit agreement which brings northern Siberian gas to Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Austria.

Admiral Bill McRaven, one of America's most decorated veterans, breaks down why hiring veterans benefits not just them, but the businesses themselves, on the debut episode of Yahoo Finance's Warrior Money. Encouraging companies to seek veterans for their workforce, McRaven notes it's a great way for companies to give back. "If you want to do something for vets, give them a job," he says. "Put them some place where they feel of value; where they have comrades they can work through tough issues on... They have to feel that they are of some value to an organization." In turn, veterans bring a unique set of traits to the companies they join. "They're going to work hard," he explains. "Of course, they also have leadership skills." "Even if they're not in charge, they know how to be a good teammate," he adds. Admiral McRaven shares this insight on the debut of Yahoo Finance's new vodcast, Warrior Money.
