BERLIN, 09 July 2022, (TON): Germany said “it hopes to convince Canada to deliver a turbine needed to maintain the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, with Russia waiting on the machine s arrival before increasing supplies.”
Germany is seeking to bolster waning energy supplies, but Ukraine has accused Berlin of giving in to Russian blackmail after Moscow blamed reduced supplies on the need for repairs, not market conditions amid the Ukraine war.
The turbine is currently undergoing maintenance at a Canadian site owned by German industrial giant Siemens.
Russian energy behemoth Gazprom last month blamed the issue for a reduction in supplies to Germany via the controversial pipeline, with Berlin facing a serious energy crisis.
