Kremlin says to keep mum on Siemens' Russia retreat over Crimea scandal

MOSCOW, Jul 21 (Reuters) The Kremlin said today it did not want to make any comment on a decision by Germany's Siemens to halt deliveries of power equipment to Russian state-controlled customers after a Crimean sanctions scandal.
Siemens moved to distance itself from the imbroglio in a statement earlier today, saying it now had credible evidence that four gas turbines it delivered a year ago for a project in southern Russia had been illegally moved to Crimea without its knowledge.
"Right from the off I will tell you that I will leave this matter without comment," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call.
