They cite a Russian Publication Kommersant I think.

On that note, I'll quickly summarize NordStream1 news of the last few weeks. Since I last checked in, NS1 is back from maintenance and initially resumed with the 40% of capacity deliveries that it did before the maintenance. Just yesterday, it was announced that those deliveries will be cut to 20% of capacity come Wednesday. So that's not so great.
Different topic, but Germany is fulfilling arms deliveries. Gepard SPAAs(5 out of 30 promised), MARS MLRS (3) and Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled artillery (7 previously +3 = 10) have arrived. Meanwhile, training of UA forces on COBRA counter battery radars and IRIS-T SAMs is starting. src
