The UN Security Council did not adopt a resolution proposed by Russia on an international investigation into the explosions at Nord Stream
There will be no international investigation into the sabotage at Nord Stream, the UN Security Council did not accept the resolution proposed by Russia and China, although no one voted against it.
The UN Security Council did not support the Russian resolution, which proposed an independent investigation into sabotage on Russian gas pipelines. Russia, China and Brazil supported it in the voting, the other members of the UN Security Council abstained, no one opposed, not even the United States. At the same time, US Deputy Representative Robert Wood criticized the resolution in every possible way and urged other countries not to accept it, and also tried to prove that the United States was not involved in the sabotage.
Russian Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzya, commenting on Wood's statement, said that "a thief's hat is on fire," judging by how he tried to shield the United States, despite the fact that the resolution itself did not even hint at the involvement of the Americans in sabotage. The document proposed the creation of an independent commission for an international investigation under the auspices of the UN.
- said the Russian permanent representative.
At the same time, the Russian side noted that pressure was put on a number of members of the Security Council by the United States. China spoke in the same vein, saying that a number of countries hide the data they know about sabotage on the Nord Stream, apparently out of fear of the United States.
Earlier, American journalist Seymour Hersh conducted his own investigation and concluded that the United States was the customer and perpetrator of the sabotage on gas pipelines. Washington denies all charges.
