State Department Couldn’t Explain Why US Abstained From Voting in UN Security Council on Nord Stream Terrorist Attack Investigation

Remember that the vote in the Security Council on a resolution asking the secretary general of the organization to create an international commission to investigate the circumstances of the terrorist attack against Nord Stream came to nothing. Only three countries – China, Brazil and the Russian Federation voted for such a survey. The other members of the Security Council abstained, after the United States.“As for the Nord Stream investigations…I will have to get back to you on that,” Vedant Patel told reporters.Earlier, Maria Zakharova said Russia was disappointed with the results of the vote and intended to seek the identification of those responsible.Recall that the American journalist Seymour Hersh published in the media the results of his investigation of the explosions, in which he claimed, citing sources, that the explosives under the gas pipelines were laid in June 2022 during the Baltops exercises. And the US Navy divers did it with the support of the Norwegians. Hersh also claims that US President Joe Biden personally made the decision to carry out the operation.
