German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said today that the turbine for Nord Stream, located in Germany, which Canada agreed to deliver in defiance of anti-Russian sanctions, is ready for operation. He reported this during a personal planned inspection of the turbine.
According to him, there are “no reasons” from the German side, due to which the turbine could not be sent to Russia.
At the same time the head of Siemens Energy claims that there are still not enough documents from Russia to transport the turbine for Nord Stream.
