Not sure that is correct, the companies contractually responsible for the nordstream 1 turbine maintenance/repair were European and Canadian, that were refusing to repair them because of the sanctions on Russia

Strangely, gas turbines supplying Hungary which showed a more friendly posture towards Russia didn't break all of a sudden... I obviously can't prove that the Russia controlled companies that operated this equipment deliberately broke anything but in the past outages like this were relatively rare.


The thing is that it was a scheduled maintenance. So presumably it was expected

But you can theorize that Russians were being too picky with the repairs which normally possible wouldn't

But even if they did, EU and Canada withholding the turbine is playing to their game, don't see the purpose

Still, anything is possible... cloak and daggers
