The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and Ministry of Energy of Ukraine express their deep disappointment on the decision by the Government of Canada to issue a permission to return the Nord Stream-1 turbines repaired by Siemens Canada to Germany.
On the day when Canada announced this decision Russian army shelled residential areas in Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih and a number of other settlements in Zaporizhzhia region. The Russian Federation acted like a terrorist state, intentionally striking houses and other objects of civilian infrastructure. Peaceful people died, dozens suffered injuries.
The international community, including Canada and Germany, have imposed a number of vigorous sanctions against Russia in order to stop its war against Ukraine. And Ukraine is grateful for these resolute actions.
