The Russian Foreign Ministry called on the UN Security Council to launch an investigation into the undermining of the Nord Stream

The UN Security Council should adopt a resolution on the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry into the undermining of the Nord Stream, stated Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Zakharova noted that such a resolution is necessary in light of the fact that an “object” was found in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark, 30 km from the explosion site, which is not part of the Nord Stream structure, but could be an element of an explosive device.

“The “find” discovered during the mentioned survey once again underlines the urgent need for the Security Council to urgently adopt a resolution on the establishment by the UN Secretary General of an appropriate commission in order to shed light on all the circumstances of the sabotage so that this does not happen again in the future,” Zakharova stressed.

On March 7, The New York Times reported on the appearance of new US intelligence, which refers to the involvement of some pro-Ukrainian group in sabotage at the Nord Stream. Sources of the newspaper among American officials specified that Washington had no evidence of involvement in the blowing up of pipelines by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his subordinates. No “Russian trace” was found in the case either.

Later that day, the German newspaper Zeit, citing a German investigation, stated that a Ukrainian ship, on which traces of explosives were found, could be involved in the sabotage.

The Kremlin called the publications a “coordinated stuffing” and questioned the involvement of pro-Ukrainian forces in undermining the Nord Streams. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called on the West to respond to Russia’s requests for sabotage, and not to allow leaks in the information field.

Prior to this, journalist Seymour Hersh published an investigation into the Nord Stream incident, in which he accused the United States and Norway of being involved in the bombing. The White House and the European Commission called this information unreliable. The Kremlin announced the unwillingness of the West to transparently investigate the Nord Stream case.
