TASS's latest Nord Stream news said that Germany did not attend the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meetings on the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosion despite being invited by Russia many times.
The information was shared by Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya."They do not want to appear because the investigation is ongoing," he added.
Also according to TASS, at the UN Security Council meeting on the Nord Stream incident on October 4, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya emphasized: Experts agree that it is impossible to blow up the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines without government support.
"In fact, there is another explanation for the numerous unbelievable theories that have emerged recently: the fundamental desire of the masterminds and perpetrators of this crime was to cover up their tracks and deceive investigators. At least two things prove that this is true," the Russian ambassador said.
First of all, he explained, the allegations that a group of Ukrainian amateur divers were involved in the sabotage were completely absurd. "Such a story would be a good script for a Hollywood blockbuster, but it would not work in real life. Especially since most experts say that such explosions are impossible without government support," Ambassador Nebenzya said.
The Russian ambassador to the United Nations added that after two years, all of Russia's suspicions have only grown, with many US and European officials admitting their involvement in the Nord Stream explosion. The Russian diplomat said that the West's response to the Nord Stream incident, including members of the UN Security Council, has only reinforced Russia's view.
The Nord Stream gas pipeline explosion should be investigated especially thoroughly and the perpetrators should be punished in such a way that no one would dare to think of repeating such a terrorist act, Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya said. "If we want similar facilities to be safe, the terrorist act related to the Nord Stream pipeline should be investigated especially thoroughly and the perpetrators, be they states, criminal groups or individual criminals, should be punished in such a way that no one would dare to think of repeating their actions," he stressed.
According to Xinhua, during the UN Security Council meeting on the investigation into the Nord Stream explosion, Mr. Geng Shuang - Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations - emphasized that over the past two years, the international community has been following the progress of the investigation into the Nord Stream explosion and the UN Security Council has conducted many discussions, in which many council members have repeatedly called for "objective, impartial and professional investigations to determine the truth as soon as possible" and hold the perpetrators of the Nord Stream incident accountable.
The Chinese diplomat expressed hope that Germany, which is conducting an independent investigation into the Nord Stream incident, will announce the progress and results of the investigation through official channels as soon as possible, and that relevant countries will actively communicate and cooperate with Russia on the Nord Stream incident.
