[European leaders have cast doubt on
Russia's stated reasons for keeping
the Nord Stream 1 pipeline closed.
Now Siemens Energy - the German firm that has
assisted with maintenance of the
Nord Stream pipeline - has told Reuters that
oil leaks do not normally impact
the operation of the turbine.
"Such leaks do not normally affect
the operation of a turbine and can
be sealed on site. It is a routine procedure
within the scope of maintenance work,"
the company said.
"In the past, too, the occurrence
of this type of leak has not led to
a shutdown of operations."]
