Ukrainian group asks federal court to stop Trudeau’s return of Russian gas turbine

OTTAWA – After being condemned by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the federal government’s decision to suspend sanctions against Russia to allow the export of a gas-pipeline component prompted an international Ukrainian group to take legal action on Tuesday.

The federal Liberal government relented to pressure from the German government to send a turbine, which had been undergoing maintenance in Montreal, back to Russia where it can be installed into Russia’s Nord Stream pipeline, which carries natural gas to Europe.
