Sanctions from Canada, the European Union, the UK and the current situation's inconsistency with Siemens' obligations make it impossible to deliver the turbine for Nord Stream, which was repaired in Canada and is now in Germany, Gazprom said.

"The sanctions regimes of Canada, the EU, the UK and the non-compliance of the current situation with the current contractual obligations on the part of Siemens make the delivery of engine 073 to the Portovaya CS impossible," the company said in its official Telegram channel.

Nord Stream, the main route for gas supplies from Russia to Europe, has been operating with restrictions since mid-June, and since late July, only 20% of the nearly 170 million cubic meters of capacity per day. The Russian side has repeatedly stressed that the supply limitation is solely due to the sanctions, which caused problems with maintenance and repair of Siemens gas compressor units. Currently, only one turbine ensures the operation of the gas pipeline.
