FROM 4 a.m. Moscow time, the pumping of gas through the Nord Stream-1 gas pipeline was completely stopped. The operator's data show that, that gas to Germany through this gas pipeline for the first time since the beginning of its operation has ceased to flow.
Recall, that Gazprom previously warned about routine technical work with the last turbine, which ensured the pumping of gas through the "SP-1". According to the official representative of the Russian gas giant, Repair work will be carried out within three days - until 3 September.
On this occasion, a meme appeared on the network, associated with the famous song of Mikhail Shufutinsky, Where is German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, looking at a photo of the Nord Stream turbine, "pronounces": "I'll look at your photo, and again 3 September ... "
In Germany itself, politicians do not hide the fact, what 3 September 2022 years are expected almost with trepidation and at the same time with anxiety, because the maintenance of the last, providing operation of the gas pipeline turbine, may not go according to plan, which was initially approved due to technological sanctions, previously introduced by the West in relation to Russia.
At the same time, Berlin is well aware, that the problem is solved very simply - either by lifting all sanctions in the energy sector, or lifting the sanction from the SP-2 gas pipeline, which is able to meet the needs of the German (and not only German) the economy.
