German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in an interview with the Canadian edition of The Globe and Mail, said that Canada's decision to hand over the Nord Stream 1 turbine to Russia deprived the Kremlin of grounds for reducing the supply of natural gas to Europe  "russia uses the turbine as an excuse to cut gas supplies. Prime Minister Trudeau's decision deprived russia of this opportunity and strengthened the position of Germany and Europe. Thanks to Trudeau, we exposed Putin's bluff. Since the turbine is ready for use, russia must resume its contractual obligations. If Moscow decides not to do this, let it be clear to the whole world," said Olaf Scholz.
