According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, he said the company rejects claims that gas supplies from Russia to Germany have been reduced due to non-return after the repair of the Nord Stream turbine.

He also called Germany's past energy and Russian policies "a huge mistake."

On June 9, supplies of Russian gas via Nord Stream were reduced due to scheduled technical work, the volumes of supplies were limited due to the untimely return of equipment from repair by Siemens.

According to the head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, today there is no way to solve the problem that arose at the Portovaya compressor station, although Siemens is working on the situation.
