The Russian minister said this at a press conference following his visit to Uganda.
“No one can clearly explain to us in the documents what status, firstly, of this turbine and other turbines that must undergo routine maintenance in Canada,” Lavrov said.
Earlier, Gazprom announced that it was stopping the operation of another Siemens gas turbine engine at the Portovaya CS.
The company reported that it received documents from the Canadian authorities regarding the turbine from Siemens, but questions remain about EU and UK sanctions, the solution of which is important for the delivery of the turbine to Russia.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Gazprom would make a statement on Nord Stream and explain the situation from a technological point of view.
On June 9, Russian gas supplies via Nord Stream were reduced due to planned technical work.
According to Gazprom, the supply volumes were limited due to the untimely return of equipment from repair by Siemens.
