Bisnis.comJAKARTA — President Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky admitted that he was worried if sanctions in the form of restrictions on energy exports were imposed by Western countries on Russia weakened by Canada’s actions.
“It’s not just about some Nord Stream turbines that Canada shouldn’t have, but you still decided to hand them over to Russia. These are general rules,” Zelensky said in his speech, quoted by ukrinform.net, Tuesday (12/7/2022).
He asked the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry to summon the Canadian representative about the Russian Nord Stream gas turbine they were repairing and which will soon be sent back to the rival country.
For your information, Canada is currently repairing and will soon return the gas turbine to the Russian energy company Gazprom.
He said the return of the gas turbines was a violation of Russian sanctions that had been mutually agreed with Western countries.
“A decision to waive sanctions will be perceived in Moscow exclusively as a manifestation of weakness. That is their logic,” he continued.
According to him, this could have an impact on Russia’s confidence in limiting gas supplies to Europe as much as possible.
Zelensky opposed Canada’s decision to return the gas turbines, amid the current crisis in his country. In fact, he predicts the decision could have a bigger impact later on.
For information, the delivery of this gas turbine is also linked to Germany. The reason is that Germany is pushing Canada to return it. In addition, the gas turbine will be sent to Germany and then transported to Russia’s Gazprom.
