OTTAWA — The Ukrainian World Congress says it is seeking a judicial review of the Canadian government’s decision to return six turbines for a pipeline that carries natural gas from Russia to Europe.
The Liberals’ decision to grant Siemens Canada an exemption to deliver the equipment to Germany while it has sanctions in place against the Russian regime has earned it sharp rebuke from the Ukrainian government and critics at home.
Ottawa has said the return of the equipment is necessary to help Europe transition from its reliance on Russian oil and gas and to protect its ally Germany from Russia potentially turning off its supply of gas.
The Ukrainian government says Canada’s decision sets a “dangerous precedent” at a time when the international community needs to show resolve against Russian threats and its invasion of Ukraine.
