Kremlin rejects report Nord Stream turbine is stuck in transit

No excuses left for Putin by returning turbine: PM Justin Trudeau says Canada is returning turbines to Russia, despite the wishes of Ukraine, so there's 'no excuse' to block energy to Europe.

MOSCOW — The Kremlin on Friday rejected a report that a crucial turbine for the Nord Stream 1 pipeline between Russia and Germany was stuck in transit.

Reuters reported on Thursday that Russia has so far not given the go-ahead to transport the turbine back to Russia, citing two people familiar with the matter said.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the reports, saying it was "nonsense."
