Due to difficulties with the return from repair and maintenance of gas pumping units that arose after the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, Gazprom was forced to reduce pumping, first to 40 percent of the gas pipeline capacity, and then to 20 percent. On July 25, the Russian company announced that it had received documents from Siemens from the Canadian authorities, where the turbine was repaired, but questions remain, including on the sanctions of the European Union and Great Britain.
