The Russian Gazprom noted that “On July 15, the company officially applied to the German company Siemens for documents that would allow, taking into account the current sanctions regimes in Canada and the European Union, to export gas turbines for the Portovaya gas station to Russia.

And she explained in her statement that “the turbines are of great importance for the Nord Stream line and for the German company to fulfill its obligations in the field of repair, maintenance and service of this equipment”, emphasizing that “the Russian Company is counting on the unconditional fulfillment by Siemens of its maintenance obligations for gas turbine engines”. The reliable operation of the gas pipeline and the provision of fuel to European consumers depend on this.

Earlier, Gazprom confirmed that they “did not receive any documents allowing Siemens to transfer the turbine to the Nord Stream gas pipeline,” which was seized by Canada after repairs under the pretext of Western sanctions.

The Russian company Gazprom has significantly reduced gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 route for technical reasons, as Canada did not return gas turbines after their repair under the pretext of sanctions imposed on Moscow. .

Planned repairs are currently underway on the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which will last until July 21, which means that gas pumping along the route has been temporarily stopped.
