At the request of journalists, he commented on the submission by the State Duma Committee on International Affairs for consideration by the chamber of a draft appeal to the UN Security Council on an investigation into the undermining of the Nord Stream, writes TASS.
Dujarric noted that any investigation “needs what we don’t have: a mandate.” Some mandate from a legal UN body will be needed, he added.
The representative of the Secretary General was also asked the question: should any country be held accountable if its involvement in sabotage is revealed? To this, Dujarric replied that he had no intention of going ahead and talking about what he had no information about.
“If someone does this, then he should be responsible, but I have no information about the source and cause of the leak (from gas pipelines – ed.)”, – said the representative of the Secretary General. He added that the leak has serious consequences, including environmental ones.
Remember, the well-known American journalist, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh, after the results of his investigation, stated that American divers planted explosives under the Nord Stream in June 2022 under the cover of NATO exercises, and in September an aircraft of the Norwegian Navy dropped a sonar buoy that set off explosive devices.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov drew attention to the fact that US officials no longer hide their involvement in the explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, moreover, they are happy to talk about it. . As the minister pointed out, the friendship between Moscow and Berlin has become a bone in the throat of those who do not want the United States to have competitors on the planet.
