Moscow’s Gazprom warns Europe it cannot guarantee future deliveries
Russia’s state-controlled natural gas producer is warning European customers it cannot guarantee future gas deliveries even after Canada circumvented its own sanctions on Moscow to send a repaired turbine for a key pipeline that ships to Germany.
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress , an advocacy group for Canadians of Ukrainian origin, said Gazprom’s maneuver demonstrates why repairing turbines for Russia will not stop the Kremlin from shutting off gas supplies to Europe. Russia last month cited the delayed return of natural-gas turbine equipment, which Siemens Energy had been servicing in Canada, as the reason it decided to reduce the flow of natural gas through Nord Stream 1. The pipeline, which ships gas to Germany from Russia, was cut to 40-percent capacity. It has since been shut down for annual maintenance.
According to a Russian media outlet, the first Nord Stream gas turbine released by Canada has arrived in Europe. Nord Stream 1 is currently undergoing planned annual maintenance, which is due to be completed on July 21 and has completely halted flows.
