The UN Security Council will vote today on the Russian-Chinese draft resolution on undermining the Nord Stream

Discussions around the sabotage of an international scale, which were carried out in September last year on two gas pipelines running along the bottom of the Baltic Sea - Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, continue and reach a new level.

Today, March 27, the UN Security Council is to meet in New York to consider a draft resolution on an international investigation into the Nord Stream explosions. Voting is expected to begin around 22:00 Moscow time.



According to the content of the resolution, it is proposed to create an international independent commission to investigate these acts of sabotage, which should be headed by UN Secretary General António Guterres. Guterres is also expected to entrust the selection of specialists to the commission for the investigation. The document notes the need to oblige countries conducting their own investigations to share information with the UN commission.

However, such a resolution by Russia and China will naturally be opposed by Washington and its partners in London and Paris. But if the resolution on the investigation is blocked by them, it will become clear to dozens of countries around the world who exactly is behind the sabotage on gas pipelines.

It should be recalled that the UN Security Council consists of 15 member states, where in fact everything is decided by five permanent members - Great Britain, Russia, the USA, China and France, since only they have the right to "veto". From this scenario, we can conclude that today the resolution will not be adopted. There are several options here - the US can veto, but then it will become clear to everyone that they are guilty of sabotage on pipelines; The states can ask their partners - the UK and France to vote against, which will also raise doubts; or some of these countries will propose to amend the resolution so that it loses its essence.

    Most likely it will be the last option. That is, no one is against it, but with conditions that will negate any effectiveness of the investigation.

      Well, gentlemen, we are placing bets, I think they will refuse to create an international commission, with the wording that we (Westerners) are already engaged and we have qualified (read biased) investigators.

    Of course, a veto will be imposed, no one doubts it. But the main thing is different: this topic cannot be allowed to "stop", which is what the Anglo-Saxons really want.

    Strange diplomacy... If international law does not work, then why all this fuss? It would be interesting to know the quantitative composition of our mission to the UN, as well as their salaries and the country's expenses for their maintenance))) And then cover up all these missions, representative offices, and other institutions such as the WTO, EU, EC ... as non-core assets of the state! The world is changing, we need to be in the rearguard, and not go with the flow. Tired of these employees of the Ministry of Concern

      Dear Andrey! The rearguard is, in general, the most extreme rear position; in this case, activity occurs only when the rearguard units cover the retreating main forces. The forward position is the vanguard. Well, as for the competence and usefulness of the "nest of Lavrov's chicks" - I wrote several times in posts about the possibility of sending our misguided and incompetent Talleyrans and Litvinovs to the front, but the opinions of colleagues on this issue were divided approximately in half ... In my opinion, the results of Russian diplomacy for the last 30 years, at best, can be called none. Until the end of the 1990s, under the traitor Kozyrev and the drunkard Yeltsin, a complete deflection under the mattresses was carried out. Well, more than 20 subsequent years under Lavrov also did not give grounds for pride. The licking of Western "partners" continued almost until the beginning of 2021, all work with the CIS countries, primarily with the former Ukrainian SSR, failed to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, Russia still does not have a single real ally, even Rygorych tried to the extreme to sit on his multi-vector, the Baltic mongrels unleashed themselves to an extreme degree of impudence, and more than half a million Russians in these countries remained outside the influence of the Russian Federation, about the same Kazakhstan, where there are more than one million Russians, we can also say that they are outside our orbit and are not organized in any way in opposition to any old and new Elbass ... if the already gore Armenians, the very fact of whose survival as a people is solely the merit of Russia, are already spitting on us and yelling - Russians get out, then what can we say then about any vile stuff in eastern Europe - "brothers", Czechs-Slovaks, Romanians, Croats and Psya-krevs ... And about the hundreds of billions forgiven to companions and Papuans, without even a hint of any alternative compensation ... herenot about praise, but kicking out all these unsuitable currency eaters with a wolf ticket should be discussed!

    . It is clear that they will be hacked to death, blocked, but the question is worth it and awaiting clear explanations, this is at least.
    However, they can send and not explain anything.

      Not the fact that they will block. Perhaps even "hotly" support. However, the "devilry" lies in the details, namely, that Guterres himself will head and appoint the composition of the commission, read the pocket toy of mattresses, and there, under his leadership, the whole process will be dragged out for a decade in the hope that someone will die first, or padishah, or donkey. winked

    The resolution will of course be blocked, tk. Americans do not want an independent international investigation and allies will help them in this.
    to be headed by UN Secretary General António Guterres
    We found someone to plan to head the commission. This is tantamount to Biden or Blinken leading the commission.

    most likely, the storage will veto, because both states, the terrorists and the United States and Great Britain, participated in the explosions

    Here Guterres will be happy. If I were him, I would take sick leave. For a year.

    Guterres is also expected to entrust the selection of specialists to the commission for the investigation.

    It's the same as suggesting Karine Jean-Pierre do it.

    Let's see the results. However, one should not expect that justice will be done. Anglo-Saxons and Americans covenant.

    Just as our deputies are dragging the law on the confiscation of property from corrupt officials, so the UN commission is sabotaging the investigation into the sabotage at SP-2. Terrorists - the United States - will not judge themselves and will not let others.
