MNI BRIEF: EU: Putin No Pretext For Not Resuming NS1 Supplies

(MNI) LONDON

Russia has no pretext for not resuming gas supplies to Germany via the Nordstream 1 pipeline in coming days, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday.

The Commission chief said that maintenance on the NS1 turbine, the original Russian excuse for the shutdown, is now ‘in transit’ back from Siemens Canada where the work was bring done. Russia shutdown the pipeline on July 11 for 10 days of annual maintenance and is expected to reopen with limited supplies on Thursday.

Earlier Wednesday, Brussels laid out a proposal to cut overall gas usage across the EU by 15% by Spring 2023.
