Peskov recalled the existing "legal problems" related to the fact that the pipeline maintenance contract was concluded with the British "daughter" of Simens and it is difficult to fulfill it due to the "impressive package of sanctions."
“All this creates a tangle of problems for the work of the Gazprom company,” he said.
Peskov noted that Gazprom is ready and willing to continue fulfilling its obligations, but legal and technological obstacles have been created on the European side that prevent it from working.
On August 31, Gazprom announced the cessation of gas supplies via Nord Stream.
The company noted that the only working Trent 60 gas compressor unit at the Portovaya compressor station was stopped for three days for maintenance.
Alexander Frolov, Deputy General Director of the National Energy Institute, commented on the situation with gas in Europe in an interview with the Economics Today FBA.
