As informs Channel 24, the Russian media write about the facts that testify to the continuation of the gas blackmail of Gazprom. Deliveries will amount to no more than 33 million cubic meters of blue fuel per day, when the planned volume reaches 167 million cubic meters. power.
Already in June, Gazprom reduced gas flow through Nord Stream 1 to 40% of its capacity. The Russian monopolist explained that this was due to the delay in the return for the repair of the Siemens turbine for the compressor station. The turbine was returned by Canada to Germany, which then sent it to Russia.
From July 10 to July 21, the pipeline did not work due to technical work. As early as July 25, Gazprom complained about another turbine, due to which the supply of the pipeline will drop to 20 percent.
Pay attention!The Kremlin did not fork out for long explanations. Dmitry Peskov, the mouthpiece of Putin's government, said that Nord Stream 1 supplies as much gas to Europe as it is technically possible.
