Scholz said that there were no legal or technical reasons or sanctions preventing the export of the turbine to Russia. All someone has to do is say, 'I want it.' Then it will be there very quickly.” In a visit to inspect the turbine in the German city of Mülheim, the chancellor said, “It is clear and simple: the turbine is there. It was recently under repairs in Canada and then shipped to a Siemens Energy plant in Germany.

Gazprom has consistently blamed reduced gas supplies through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Europe on technical issues relating to the turbine. In a statement on Telegram the state-owned energy company said “the sanctions regimes of Canada, the EU, the UK and the inconsistency of the current situation with the current contractual obligations on the part of Siemens make the delivery of the 073 engine to the Portovaya CS impossible.” Russian energy giant Gazprom said the delivery of a pipeline turbine from Germany to Russia is “impossible,' despite German Chancellor Olaf Scholz saying earlier on Wednesday that it was ready to go.

Russia previously invited experts from the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross to conduct an 'objective investigation' into the deaths of Ukrainian prisoners held at the Olenivka jail in the Donetsk region, according to a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry on Saturday. Guterres also said the fact-finding team would not be a criminal investigation, adding that the UN is looking for 'independent team members.' He added that the terms of reference for the panel would need to be accepted by Russia and Ukraine before the fact-finding mission would begin. Russia and Ukraine both requested an investigation into the attack, Guterres told reporters in New York. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in a Wednesday news conference that the UN is seeking to establish a fact-finding team to study the attack on a Ukrainian detention facility that resulted in at least 50 deaths and dozens of injuries of Ukrainian prisoners of war.
