Ukraine expressed to the Canadian diplomat its frustration in connection with the decision to return the turbine of the Nord Stream-1 pipeline that fell under sanctions in the Russian Federation.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday, July 11, expressed its disappointment with Canada’s Chargé d’Affaires for Ukraine over the Canadian government’s decision to return the gas turbine for the Nord Stream to Germany. This is stated in the comments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
“On July 11, the Chargé d’Affaires of Canada in Ukraine was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, where the frustration of the Ukrainian side was expressed in connection with the decision of the Canadian government to issue a permit for return in Germany of Nord Stream-1 turbines manufactured by Siemens Energy Canada, ”the report said.
The Foreign Ministry noted that they called on the Canadian side to reconsider this decision, which “weakened the Euro-Atlantic unity in the application of the international sanctions regime against the Russian Federation, and also creates the basis for Russia. to continue using energy as a hybrid weapon against Europe. “
It will be recalled that last week Germany asked Canada to return the Nord Stream turbine, which should “remove the turbine excuse from Putin” in order not to pump gas to Europe.
It was later learned that Canada had decided to send a Siemens turbine for the Nord Stream to Germany. This was stated by Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, Jonathan Wilkinson. According to him, the issue of turbine transfer was discussed in both Kyiv and Berlin, so in any case, one of the allies “will be hurt.”
The turbine, built in Canada by Siemens Energy AG, was sent to Montreal for repairs but was stuck there due to sanctions on Russia’s aviation industry announced by the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Canada qualifies it as a used dual purpose and refuses to return it after repair. Due to turbine problems, gas supplies from Russia have fallen by 60%, hampering Germany’s plans to increase stocks for the winter. At the same time, Berlin fears a complete cessation of Russia’s gas supplies.
