Berlin hopes to convince Canada to deliver turbine needed to maintain Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline from Russia as Ukraine says its pipelines are capable of transporting sufficient volume of gas
Germany is seeking to bolster waning energy supplies, but Ukraine has accused Berlin of giving in to Russian"blackmail" after Moscow blamed reduced supplies on the need for repairs, not market conditions amid the Ukraine crisis.
Germany is seeking to bolster waning energy supplies, but Ukraine has accused Berlin of giving in to Russian "blackmail" after Moscow blamed reduced supplies on the need for repairs, not market conditions amid the Ukraine crisis. Berlin says it has been in regular contact with Ottawa in recent weeks in order to ensure the turbine's swift transfer back to Europe without Canada falling foul of Ukraine-related sanctions against Russia.
While not accepting maintenance issues as the reason for Russia cutting supplies, Germany says the return of the turbine would deprive Moscow of an excuse to keep supplies significantly below normal levels. Makogon said Ukraine's own pipelines were capable of transporting sufficient volume of gas to Germany to make up for the falloff in Russian supplies.
