A senior Russian diplomat indicated that a decision on the Nord Stream sabotage matter would be brought to a vote in the UN Security Council by the end of March. The statement came in an interview published on a video channel and reflects a point of view shared by Moscow after several rounds of diplomatic consultations. The plan to advance a formal vote underscores Russia’s intent to seek a clear, public position on the sabotage incident within the Security Council framework.
According to the diplomat, three exchanges of views have already taken place with other council members. These consultations are described as groundwork for a formal procedure that could test the relevant text in the council chamber as March closes. Moscow maintains that Western states are aware of the seriousness of the charge and are acquainted with the nature of the information being presented, even as some parties dispute the facts. The speaker suggested that opponents may attempt to frame these efforts as overly provocative or unnecessary, while asserting that the underlying evidence remains solid in Moscow’s view.
On a separate note, the Russian side signaled that by March end it would circulate correspondence with Denmark, Sweden and Germany related to the Nord Stream investigation. The purpose is to share the investigative material with Security Council members and to ensure a transparent, multi-lateral discussion within the United Nations’ top decision-making body.
In rounds of public commentary, Moscow has claimed that Western media have at times released information that is either incomplete or intended to divert attention away from the core facts of the case. The Russian position has consistently framed the Nord Stream incident as a geopolitical distraction that complicates the public understanding of the event while the investigation proceeds.
Earlier coverage by major outlets indicated that new intelligence from the United States might point to involvement by a pro-Ukrainian group in undermining the Nord Stream gas pipeline system. This portrayal aligns with Moscow’s push to have its narrative tested in an explicit, formal setting at the UN, where all relevant parties are invited to weigh in and where the assessment can be viewed through the lens of international law and collective decision-making. The unfolding storyline remains a topic of intense international interest, with many watching how the Security Council will handle the presented materials and the resulting discourse.
