“The decision to return the turbine has already been made,” he said.

It is noted that in order to avoid sanctions, the turbine will first be delivered to Germany, which will then transfer it to Gazprom. 

Earlier, Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Robert Habek urged Canada to resolve the issue with the delivery of a turbine for the Nord Stream gas pipeline.

Igor Yushkov, an expert from the Financial University under the Government of Russia and the National Energy Security Fund, commented on the situation with gas in Germany in an interview with Nation News.
