The US government backed Canada’s decision to export sanctioned pipeline equipment to Germany, arguing the move will help shore up European energy security.
“We support the Canadian government’s decision to return a natural-gas turbine to Germany for use in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement. The move “will allow Germany and other European countries to replenish their gas reserves, increasing their energy security and resiliency and countering Russia’s efforts to weaponize energy,” he said.
Ukraine’s foreign ministry called Canada’s decision “dangerous,” saying it would “allow Russia to continue using energy as an instrument of hybrid war against Europe.” The Ukrainian Canadian Congress accused the Trudeau government of bowing to “Russian blackmail.”
