This was reported to RIA Novosti by the official representative of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Canada, Anthony Ertle.

“The Government of Canada is actively negotiating with the FRG about these turbines and we are working to reach a solution to this problem,” he said in a written response.

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.

After that, Gazprom announced that it was stopping the operation of another gas turbine engine of the German concern Siemens at the Portovaya CS.

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.

He explained that the German company cannot return the equipment from Canada because it has imposed sanctions against Gazprom.
