Citing alleged āmechanical problemsā with the Nord Stream pipeline, Russian authorities on Friday said they were shutting off natural gas to Europe indefinitely, a move that further puts the continent on a possible path to an energy crisis.
If I remember this properly, the pipeline uses Turbo compressors from Siemens.
The Russians sent many of them to be repaired in Canada, but due to sanctions they can't get them back. So they are left with failing compressors because of sanctions
