TASS's latest Nord Stream news said that Germany did not attend UN Security Council (UNSC) meetings on the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosion despite being invited to attend many times by Russia.
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 all 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 myriad of unbelievable theories that have recently emerged: The basic wish of the masterminds and perpetrators of this crime is to hide traces and deceive investigators. At least two things prove that this is true," the Russian ambassador said.
He explained that, first, the accusations that a group of Ukrainian amateur divers participated in the sabotage were completely unreasonable. "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 could not have been carried out without government support," Ambassador Nebenzya said.
The Russian Ambassador to the United Nations added that after two years, all the suspicions about Russia have increased, with many US and European officials admitting to being involved 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, further reinforced Russia's assessment.
The Nord Stream gas pipeline explosion needs to be investigated especially thoroughly and the perpetrators must be punished in such a way that no one could have thought 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 needs to be investigated especially thoroughly and those who are guilty, whether it is a state, a criminal group or an individual, must be punished in such a way that no one dares to repeat their actions," he stressed.
According to Xinhua, during the UN Security Council meeting on the investigation of the Nord Stream explosion, Mr. Geng Shuang - Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations - emphasized that over the past two years, the international community has been following the investigation process of the Nord Stream explosion and the UN Security Council has held many discussions, in which many members of the council have repeatedly called for " obvious, impartial and professional investigations to determine the truth as soon as possible" and hold the perpetrators of the Nord Stream case accountable.
The Chinese diplomat expressed hope that Germany - the country launching an independent investigation into the Nord Stream case - will announce the progress and results of the investigation through official channels as soon as possible, and that relevant countries will actively discuss and cooperate with Russia on the Nord Stream case.
