The Russian gas consortium announced on Friday that it has completely stopped gas flow to Europe via Germany due to an oil leak in a turbine of the only operating compressor station, something the EU has called a “fallacy”.

Russia this Sunday defended itself against criticism in the European Union (EU) for the Russian gas shut off via Nord Stream pipelinestating that this measure has its origins in western sanctions and actionswhile warning that oil prices could rise even more.
In the program “Moscow.Kremlin.Putin” on the public television channel Rossia-1, both Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov and Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, responsible for energy issues, assured that the unlimited suspension of transit of gas through the Nord Stream not Gazprom’s fault.
The Russian gas consortium announced on Friday that it will completely stop gas flow to Europe via Germany due to an oil leak in a turbine of the only compressor station still in operation. something the EU has called a “fallacy” and as further proof that Russia is not a reliable supplier.
“If the Europeans make an absolutely absurd decision that they refuse to repair their equipment, but that they have to repair according to the contract, it is not Gazprom’s fault, it is the fault of the politicians who made the decision on the sanctions. he said Peskov.
“Both Canada and the European Union sanctions imposed to the relevant team, so they need to align their actions with the terms of the contract so that this team can really continue to function,” Novak said.
One of the turbines Siemens repaired at its factories in Canada was able to be returned to Germany despite the sanctions, but from there it has not yet reached Russia because Moscow requires legal guarantees that the device is not subject to restrictions.
Novak, like Peskov, has not ruled out further increases in gas prices in Europe by the EU’s “myopic” policies that led to the “collapse” of the energy market.
