“We know that there is an intensive, albeit not very publicized, dialogue on this issue between Berlin and Ottawa,” RIA Novosti quotes his commentary on the situation with turbines for Nord Stream.
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.
Canadian Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson said that the heads of the G7 countries are likely to discuss the situation around the Nord Stream gas turbine.
