Commentary by M.V. Zakharova (The Russian Foreign Ministry)
On the progress of work on the Russian draft resolution of the UN Security Council on the investigation of sabotage on the Nord Stream gas pipelines | In New York, work continues on the Russian draft resolution of the UN Security Council on the establishment by the UN Secretary-General of an independent international commission to investigate the circumstances of the explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines. The Russian delegation held four rounds of negotiations, trying to work out a text acceptable to all members of the Security Council. The search for a much-needed compromise will continue, given
the importance of identifying the customers and perpetrators of the terrorist attack.
● In this context, attention was drawn to the recently appeared information that during a survey with the permission of the Danish authorities by Nordstream AG, one of the pipeline threads in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark at a distance of 30 kilometers from the explosion site was discovered an "object" that is not part of the Nord Stream design, but may represent is an element of an explosive device.
● Last week, the Danish ambassador was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry, who at that time showed ignorance of this fact. During the meeting today, he noted that all measures are being taken to study the situation taking into account "security and economic aspects", in fact limiting himself to general words.
● The "find" discovered during the aforementioned 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 such a thing does not happen again in the future.
● The withdrawal of the countries of the "collective West" from constructive work on the draft resolution, given their refusal to allow Russia to investigate, will be evidence of
deliberately created obstacles in establishing the truth. (
