During his visit to Tehran, the Kremlin chief sent a message to the West.
Tehran - Russian President Vladimir Putin warns against a further reduction in Russian gas supplies through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.
If Russia does not get back the turbine repaired in Canada, the daily throughput capacity of the pipeline threatens to fall significantly at the end of July, the Kremlin chief said on the sidelines of a meeting in Tehran, according to the Russian state news agency TASS.
"We still have a ready route - that's Nord Stream 2. We can put it into operation," Putin offered at the same time.
