“Russia is responsible for fixing the gas crisis in Europe. If the reason for the exception (regarding the repair of the turbines – ed.) is to avoid Russia being blamed for the sanctions for disruptions in gas supply (to Europe – ed.), then it is now clearer that Russia will make the additional five turbines that will soon allow service in Canada as a tool of shame. We urge you: do not fall for the bait that this,” Kovaliv said at a House Foreign Affairs Committee meeting. of Commons of the Canadian Parliament, which held hearings on the subject of exemptions from penalties for SP-1 turbines.
The ambassador recalled that the appeasement logic of Russian President Vladimir Putin will not stop the war.
Do not forget that since issuing the permit (for the maintenance of a turbine – ed.) Russia has committed a number of terrible war crimes – attacked a shopping center in Kremenchug, the Odessa seaport, killed of more than 50 Azovstal prisoners of war and more than 160 civilians in just three weeks – said the diplomat.
Kovaliv emphasized that Ukraine is committed to cooperation with European countries on measures to reduce dependence on Russian gas.
“We aim to help by using the Ukrainian gas route, offering gas storage facilities and providing the EU with additional electricity that can replace up to 5 billion cubic meters of Russian gas,” the ambassador said .
It will be recalled that on August 3, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz personally inspected the turbine for the SP-1. He assured that the unit is ready for use, and all that is needed is a request from Russia.
As you know, Gazprom reduced gas supplies through Nord Stream 1 to 20% of capacity – 33 million cubic meters per day. At the same time, the gas pipeline is capable of transporting up to 167 million cubic meters. m of gas.
