Russia's Gazprom keeps gas pipeline to Germany switched off

The company cited what it said was a need for urgent maintenance work to repair key components in an announcement made just hours before it had been due to restart deliveries.

The move was the latest development in a saga in which Gazprom has advanced technical problems as the reason for reducing gas flows through Nord Stream 1 - explanations that German officials have rejected as a cover for a political power play following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The continuing interruptions from Gazprom mean that “a winter with zero Russian gas is the central scenario for Europe.” he said. “There is only one way to prepare for that: reducing gas and electricity demand.”A view of the business tower Lakhta Centre, the headquarters of Russian gas monopoly Gazprom in St. Petersburg, Russia, Wednesday, April 27, 2022.

Gazprom started cutting supplies through Nord Stream 1 in mid-June, blaming delays to the delivery of a turbine that had been sent to Canada for repair. Canada has since allowed the turbine's delivery to Germany, which has said that nothing stands in the way of it being sent to Russia other than Russia saying it wants the part.

As if the European leaders didn’t know this would happen - they don’t give a toss about their citizens but hey freezing in winter is worth it for Ukraine 😂

Why would the Russian give the Germany's anything 😂😂

Well, they get gas from Norway....

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Thank you nato for pushing Russia too defend itself

What about the windmills and solar panels?

fakenews again.

First they sanction Russia and now they cry 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ well cry harder

Watch Twitter hide all comments about how Trump told Europe to stop relying on Russian Gas. Truth hurts

Fake news once again blaming Russia. How about you tell the people the real reason? Sanctions meant a turbine being repaired in Canada wasn't allowed to be returned to Russia which started this snowball effect of maintenance issues. Canada and sanctions 9, NOT Russia. Fake news 9

They will get the gas from sleepy Joe who put them in this crisis. Poor Europe's

Remember when Trump told Germany not to be dependent on Russia and everybody laughed at him. 🤣🤣

It's almost like Trump accurately predicted what would happen if Europe relied almost completely on Russia... And they laughed at him! What short sighted fools.

Didn’t a former president warn Germany of their reliance on Russian energy only to be virtually laughed at? Not laughing now aye Germany

I'm JESUS ​​CHRIST 'Michael Archangel'the Vengeance and every kind of payment belong to me!There will be so much famine that you will eat the flesh of your children,and each one will eat the flesh of his neighbor.I am the angel of death,the son of God.When I act who will stop me?
