The German industrial conglomerate Siemens says it is cutting some of its ties to Russia after receiving information that four gas turbines it sold to for use at a Russian power plant had been “illegally” diverted to the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.
Siemens said in a July 21 statement that it will halt deliveries of power-generation equipment under existing contracts with Russian state-controlled entities “for the time being” in response to the transfer of the turbines to Crimea.
