State-controlled Gazprom blames a leak in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline for scrapping the deadline. Read more at straitstimes.com.
FRANKFURT/LONDON - Russia has scrapped a Saturday deadline to resume flows via a major gas supply route to Europe after saying it had discovered a fault in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline during maintenance, deepening Europe's difficulties in securing fuel for winter.
Earlier, European Union Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said the bloc should impose a price cap on Russian pipeline gas to foil what she said were Russian President Vladimir Putin's attempts to manipulate the market. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Moscow would turn off supplies to Europe if Brussels imposed such a cap.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had suggested earlier on Friday there could be more disruptions to deliveries via Nord Stream 1. Gazprom's statement on Friday cited Siemens saying repairs to the turbine after the discovery of the latest fault could only be done in"the conditions of a specialised workshop".Goodbye hot showers and street lights: How Europe is slashing energy use
