“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to call a Canadian representative in our state due to a completely unacceptable exception to the sanctions regime against Russia,” Zelensky said in a video message published on his Telegram channel.
He expressed his belief that Canada should not have made such a decision.
According to Zelensky, now Europe needs to prepare for the fact that Russia "completely stops gas supplies at the most critical moment."
Earlier, Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Robert Habek urged Canada to resolve the issue of the delivery of a turbine for the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
After that, Reuters reported that Canada had decided to return the turbine to Berlin.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed the decision.
