Russian Official Presents Documentation on Nord Stream Sabotage to UN Bodies
The Russian Federation has handed to the Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly a set of documents regarding the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 sabotage cases. The materials were submitted by Dmitry Polyansky, the First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia, who spoke with UN officials and announced the delivery of the correspondence to the UN machinery. The release appeared in his official report on the telegraph channel.
During remarks aimed at supporting a draft UN Security Council resolution, which proposes the creation of an international commission under UN auspices to investigate the Nord Stream sabotage, Polyansky explained that a copy of Moscow’s correspondence was distributed as an official document to both the Security Council and the General Assembly. The aim is to provide a documented record that can guide the investigative process and ensure transparency within the UN framework.
Polyansky noted that the letter text includes information showing that Moscow did not receive all requested details from other parties. He indicated that the documents are intended to reassure UN colleagues that public claims about the progress of investigations by certain countries may not reflect the full reality on the ground, according to his briefing.
At this stage, official assessments of the specific sabotage events at Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 remain incomplete. The precise sequence of events and responsible actors are still under examination, with further findings anticipated in the coming period.
Maria Zakharova, a former spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented on the matter, urging the UN Security Council to decide on the establishment of a commission to probe the Nord Stream explosions. Her position underscores the demand for a formal, multilateral investigative mechanism to advance accountability.
Within the Federation Council, there was also a call to challenge Western media narratives that implicate a pro-Ukrainian group in undermining the Nord Stream infrastructure. The statement reflects a broader push to reassess public discourse and ensure that media portrayals align with officially disclosed information and UN-backed investigative processes.
