Russia’s giant Gazprom said on Wednesday Reduces the amount of gas coming to Germany via the Nord Stream gas pipeline to 20 percent of the total capacity for technical reasons.
“There are no technical reasons to reduce deliveries. The turbine is ready for delivery to Russia,” said German Economy Minister Robert Habeck, who said that export documents for Siemens Energy’s repaired turbines in Canada were ready, but Russia refused to issue an import permit.

“Russia is violating treaties and blaming others in the process. Putin is playing a double game. He is trying to undermine widespread support for Ukraine and divide our society. To do so, he incites uncertainty and raises prices. And we confront this with unity and focused efforts. We are taking precautions to endure winter “ Habek said.
According to the minister, the main tools for this are the rapid construction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation infrastructure, filling of storage facilities and reduction of gas consumption. (MTI)
