🎙 Excerpts from the statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on acts of sabotage at the Nord Stream pipeline

💬 Does the United States benefit from what happened to the #NordStream? Of course it does. American LNG suppliers now can celebrate a manifold increase of LNG deliveries to Europe. In political terms, the last pillar that maintained European energy independence was ruined.

<...>

❗️ It is obvious that a sabotage of such scale and complexity cannot be carried out by ordinary terrorists. We consider the assault against the Nord Stream pipeline as a premeditated sabotage of Russia’s key energy infrastructure facility. Such attack could not have been carried out without involvement of state or state-controlled entities.

If involvement of certain states in those terrorist attacks is proven, this will mean deliberate escalation of the conflict.

🔹 This entire process of exporting grain from the territory of Ukraine was organised under the pretext of securing the interests of the poorest countries.

But the overall picture is as follows: <...> only 3–4 or sometimes 5 percent goes to the poorest countries. Look, is this the outcome for which the deal was designed?

#Ukraine

🔹 In order to reach agreements, you should sit down at the negotiating table and talk. <...> How can we now discuss possible agreements if the other party is not even willing to talk to us?

🇷🇺🇺🇳Statement by V.Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on sabotage of #NordStream

☝️Proceeding from facts and testimonies by eyewitnesses, a prominent American investigative journalist S.Hersh convincingly proves that during NATO’s BALTOPS exercise in summer 2022, divers from US Navy planted explosives under the pipes, which were detonated by the Norwegians on 26 September 2022. Now we know not only who blew up our gas pipe, and also how they did it. No doubt this journalist is telling the truth.
