Ready to departure to the Russian Federation: Scholz inspected the turbine for "North Stream" (video)
After visiting the Siemens production site in the city of Mulheim-An-Der Rorr, Scholz stressed that the Turbina was completely ready for transportation and operation on the gas pipeline. "On Siemens Energy, I saw with my own eyes: a turbine in place and ready to work at any moment," the German politician commented. According to him, Russia only has to make a request to receive equipment. In particular, the Russian side should provide customs and transport documents.
There are no obstacles to the transportation of equipment from Germany, they assure in Berlin. "There are no technical reasons to reduce gas supply [in Russia]," he added. Yesterday, August 2, Scholz also wrote that the aggressor country used a turbine only as a reason to stop the supply of agreed gas. "Thanks to Justin Trudeau [Canadian Prime Minister], we were able to reveal Putin's bluff," he said.
We will remind, since July 11 Russia stopped supplying gas to Europe by the Nord Stream-1 gas pipeline. Gazprom explained this by the fact that Siemens in Canada detained the repair of the gas -tracking turbine required for the operation of the gas pipeline. On July 14, the Government of Canada decided to make an exception to anti-Russian sanctions and return Gazprom to the renovated turbine for the Nord Stream-1 gas pipeline.
