The Russian permanent representative to the United Nations, Vasili Nebenzia, defended this Friday that Russia must be part of any international investigation into the “sabotage” suffered by the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines that claims to be impartial.
“Russia calls for a thorough investigation to determine the real causes of what has happened,” Nebenzia said at the UN Security Council, according to the Russian agency TASS.
“We hope that you (Western countries in the Security Council) will refrain from engaging in Russophobic word games that defy common sense, similar to the ones you have used in relation to the Ukrainian strikes at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant,” he added.
In addition, he has defended that “it is clear” that acts of sabotage of this great complexity and scale could not have been carried out by “ordinary terrorists”. “We see that these actions seek to damage gas pipelines as a deliberate act of sabotage against Russia’s crucial energy facilities,” she said.
