Russia’s UN Mission has stated that Germany possesses more information about the Nord Stream pipeline blasts than it has publicly disclosed. The assertion was made during a UN Security Council meeting, where Russia called for a transparent international investigation into the September 2022 explosions. Moscow has repeatedly questioned the official narratives surrounding the incident and has pointed to Germany, Denmark, and Sweden for not providing full details of their respective national investigations. The Nord Stream pipelines, which transported natural gas from Russia to Germany, were damaged by explosions in the Baltic Sea, an event that has been widely investigated but remains without a conclusive public consensus on culpability.
The Russian mission’s comments add to the ongoing controversy and speculation surrounding the blasts. While initial investigations suggested sabotage, the perpetrator has not been definitively identified. The lack of public transparency and the competing theories have fueled geopolitical tensions, with Russia and Western countries trading accusations. This latest statement by Russia at the UN highlights the persistent diplomatic pressure for a more open and comprehensive international inquiry into the incident, which has been described as an act of international terrorism.
