Siemens will open charges on the “responsible individuals” who shipped turbines to Crimea from Southern Russia. Sanctions have hit Russia’s plans to guarantee energy security for Crimea, which is still not internationally recognized as part of Russia. “This constitutes a clear breach of Siemens’ delivery contracts, which clearly forbid our customer from making deliveries to Crimea,” it added. In 2015, before sanctions were formally imposed, Siemens agreed a deal to acquire a power station from the Kremlin. Siemens says that an internal task force will investigate all operations and deals in Russia.
