Turbine retreat
Ukraine has been underpinned by strict sanctions on Western military supplies and Moscow to resist the invasion that began on February 24.

Ukraine claims that the return violates sanctions against Russia, and the country’s Ministry of Energy and Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Sunday that it was “extremely disappointed” with Canada’s decision.
A statement posted on the Ministry of Energy’s website called on the Canadian government to overturn that decision, saying that returning the turbine would adjust the sanctions imposed on Moscow “on the whim of Russia.”
