Siemens ready to fix the leaks in Nord Stream 1 pipeline, claims Gazprom
Siemens and Gazprom
As Europe continues to remain without natural gas supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, Gazprom on Saturday announced that Siemens Energy was ready to carry out the repairs. However, it also added that no place was available to carry out the repair job.
"Siemens is taking part in repair work in accordance with the current contract, is detecting malfunctions ... and is ready to fix the oil leaks. Only there is nowhere to do the repair," said the company on its official Telegram account.
Moscow has repeatedly stated that Western countries, in addition to the sanctions, have also put barriers in the route of the pipeline which increased difficulties in the maintenance process.
However, Siemens, the Germany-based company refuted Gazprom's statement saying it was not carrying any maintenance work currently but was available.
