Technical issues with gas deliveries to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline will persist until the West lifts sanctions it has slapped on Russia over the ongoing Ukraine conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
On August 31, Gazprom completely shut down gas deliveries via the pipeline. Although initially Nord Stream 1 was slated to resume gas transit on Friday, Gazprom announced that it would remain closed indefinitely due to technical issues.
“Problems in [gas] deliveries arose due to sanctions that have been imposed on our country and a number of companies by Western countries, including Germany and the UK. There are no other reasons behind supply issues,” Peskov noted.
The Kremlin spokesman also claimed that it is not Gazprom’s fault that “the Europeans absolutely absurdly make a decision to refuse to service their equipment,” which they are contractually obligated to do.
Peskov stressed that all Nord Stream 1 operations hinge on “one piece of equipment that needs serious maintenance.”
On Sunday, his comments were echoed by Alexander Novak, Russian Deputy Prime Minister, who blamed the European Union for the problems that have prevented the resumption of gas supplies via the pipeline.
“The entire problem lies precisely on [the EU’s] side, because all the conditions of the repair contract have been completely violated, along with the terms of shipping of the equipment,” he said.
On Friday, Gazprom canceled the restart of Nord Stream 1 citing an oil leak in the turbine, which was detected during a joint inspection with manufacturer Siemens Energy at the Portovaya compressor station near St. Petersburg. At the same time, the malfunction could be remedied only in Canada, which has imposed sanctions against Moscow.
Despite the maintenance issues, Europe has accused Russia of weaponizing energy supplies, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen describing Moscow as “not a reliable partner” in terms of gas supplies.

The EU sanctions Russia but Russia is “not a reliable partner”.
Got it. F’ing Morans-Freeze, then bitchezz….
You’re talking about people who have nothing to do with it? Bitch
You mean people who ‘held their noses’ and voted for WEF stooge Macron because the just couldn’t bear to vote for the evil Le Pen?
Enjoy freezing.
Ho, you mean you voted for biden didn’t you? 1st, I don’t vote in France I just lived there, 2nd I try to think before I type something stoopid. You don’t.
Everything you type is stupid, Georges. And I mean EVERYTHING. You’re in an IQ race to the bottom with some of the Anons who post here.
Maybe you should post in French and we can use Google Translate to make sense of what you’re trying to say?
Of course because you need a program to translate since you do not have the brain to do it without it. And you dare to mention IQ? You’re laughable.
I usually don’t need a program to translate, but your posts are so unintelligible and dumb that I’m willing to try anything to make sense of them.
You think too highly of yourselves, KJ. It proves your lack of intelligence.
You keep going to the same “KJ (something)” schtick over and over again. It proves YOUR lack of intelligence, as well as your lack of creativity.
Try again, Einstein.
How right you are, KJ. You truly need more intelligence and creativity, KJ. Stop being so boring, KJ.
Still going with the same schtick? Yawn.
Georges,
The reality is that most of Western Europe has freely chosen the current cast of lunatics as their leaders. Orban is about the only one who doesn’t suck. Just because you didn’t personally choose them (as most of us here didn’t vote for Biden) doesn’t change the fact that most citizens of the West are responsible for what we’re getting. The US is lucky to have more gas and oil, although if current trends continue we’ll eventually elect someone like Gavin Newsom who’ll forbid our use of those.
We have met the enemy and he is us.
Collectively responsible. You feed the infernal machine. You share in its destruction.
Wow, you keep trying to make the same joke over and over, and it bombs over and over! Keep up the good work, retard!
Yea, keep it up, KJ. Let’s show the world how much of a retard you are, KJ!!!
You’re definitely showing the world how much of a retard YOU are, Corky! Never underestimate the power of an achiever!
Did you say “bomb”?
Imagine that?
There is no ‘West’ or ‘Russia’ at this level.
This is a manufactured war to implement the Great Reset.
There will be peace when and only when it suits the agenda.
Putin, Zelensky, the EU, Biden, Trudeau, Macron are all pawns in a big game.
They do as told… or else!
You are obligated to provide a logical answer to the question, who is in charge and what leverage do they have over every single nation and all of its players.
I found this one which is very plausible:
So these are a huge number of weapons, right?
Where do those end up exactly? Why haven’t I seen any pictures even just ostensibly showing black-marketed stingers, javelins, howitzers etc. in places far away from Ukraine?
So far, this whole stick only qualifies as a propaganda figment.
You still don’t get it, do you?
It was all by design.
This isn’t a war.
This is the cold, calculated, planned, destruction of the economy to implement the Great Reset.
Putin played his role, Zelensky played his role, the EU plays its role.
They are all on the same team and they all work for the same entities in the shadow.
No, you’re good.
It was trying to understand who “they” refers to.
The majority of lizard species are predatory and the most common prey items are small, terrestrial invertebrates, particularly insects.[6][39] Many species are sit-and-wait predators though others may be more active foragers.[40] Chameleons prey on numerous insect species, such as beetles, grasshoppers and winged termites as well as spiders. They rely on persistence and ambush to capture these prey. An individual perches on a branch and stays perfectly still, with only its eyes moving. When an insect lands, the chameleon focuses its eyes on the target and slowly moves towards it before projecting its long sticky tongue which, when hauled back, brings the attach prey with it. Geckos feed on crickets, beetles, termites and moths.[6][39]
Termites are an important part of the diets of some species of Autarchoglossa, since, as social insects, they can be found in large numbers in one spot. Ants may form a prominent part of the diet of some lizards, particularly among the lacertas.[6][39] Horned lizards are also well known for specializing on ants. Due to their small size and indigestible chitin, ants must be consumed in large amounts, and ant-eating lizards have larger stomachs than even herbivorous ones.[41] Species of skink and alligator lizards eat snails and their power jaws and molar-like teeth are adapted for breaking the shells.[6][39]

4G warfare.
They’re gonna need a bigger F-15
I thought it was called 4GW?
They want us to eat insects, weird I know

If EU sanity ever returns, Russia will have made western Europe refund the price of every stolen yacht, bank account, condominium, and pipeline valve with punitive interest.
ZATO will just shrug its shoulders.

Auntie also wishes all the best to our European friends this winter. Klaus Nomi says it best:
Awww, the nicer Klaus. An old favorite, thx for the memories. Here’s to the survivors:
Tante, if you ever want to chat about the good eld days, plz: sbaber _66 (a.t) yah oo 🙂
So “winter blackouts unlikely” means the probability is 49%, maybe less?
In response to this shutdown, the EU has decided to print hundreds of billions of dollars, and to give that money to the utility companies and to a lesser extent the public. The practical result of their action will be to drive inflation in energy to much higher levels. This will effect consumers in the US as well, as energy companies will attempt to take advantage of these higher prices by investing in shipping US gas to Europe. These price increases will drive oil as well as natural gas as some of the “free money” goes to purchase oil for heating.
All of this due to failed political agenda.
Bottom line is expect your energy costs, gasoline, utilities and the like to get much more expensive going forward despite our countries huge natural reserves because of the failed policy decisions of the current government and the stupidity of the leaders in Europe.
This is how wars get started. One country gets really desperate and then bam all the little people are killing each other while the big shots set back and talk shit.
This energy clusterfuck is one giant western European delusion of adequacy. I’d include the US in that, although it’s possible we’re purposely fucking over Western European industries to help our own.
England will probably ban Russian purchase of scones. How will Russia possibly replace those dry, tasteless delicacies?
See the scones are a status thing for the Brits, it means one has most of their teeth.
There may be a hot war after the cold winter. Either way, the West is done.
What percentage of Americans think Russia pushed into this?
Is it higher than 15%?
So many stupid Americans. I weep.
I believe in God, not Putin.
But does he not seem far more intelligent than any Western leader?
“But does he not seem far more intelligent than any Western leader?”
he’s not, they’re all pretty smart. it’s just that putin is acting openly and rationally in defense of his nation, while the western “leaders” are puppets dancing at the end of their controllers’ string trying to pose as “leaders” while destroying their nations,and thus look ridiculous.
