On September 26, in just a few days, it will be one year since the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. Let me remind you that they were committed off the coast of Denmark and Sweden. The so-called emergencies that have occurred are unprecedented.

We are talking about a monstrous crime, about outright sabotage of an important pan-European energy infrastructure. Let me remind you that back on September 28, 2022, a year ago, a criminal case was opened in the Russian Federation under the article on an act of international terrorism, part

1 of article 361 of the Criminal Code. Russian authorities continue to conduct an investigation. Well, naturally, we were denied cooperation, exchange of data, and provision of materials, as has always been the case from the West. Those who ordered the terrorist attack on Nord Streams set a very specific goal: to

Sever mutually beneficial energy ties between Russia and Europe. The actions of the authorities of European countries indicate that this entire action is ordered and conducted from one center. Thus, despite numerous official requests from the Russian side to the leadership of Germany, Sweden and Denmark to share the information available to their investigative authorities

On this topic, they still stubbornly refuse to cooperate, and they do not provide us with any clear answers. Copenhagen and Stockholm announce the continuation of certain investigative actions, the completion date of which has not been determined. The messages from the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Mishustin,

Sent in October 2022 to the heads of government of these states on the need to conduct a comprehensive and open investigation of explosions on gas pipelines with the participation of representatives of the Russian authorities and the Gazprom company remain unanswered.

The Danish and Swedish authorities responded to the appeals in November 2022 from the General Prosecutor’s Office of our country to the Royal Danish Police and the Swedish Prosecutor’s Office for legal assistance. They said granting the Russian request would pose a threat to national security. Can you imagine?

And to the question of what satisfaction became a real threat to the national security of the countries of Western Europe when this infrastructure facility was destroyed, they did not find an answer. In response to the initiative to create joint investigative teams, Copenhagen and Stockholm

Reported a lack of such interest among Danish and Swedish law enforcement agencies. The fact that the collective West has something to hide is confirmed by the feverish actions of the Swedish prosecutor’s office, which at the end of June stated that it does not

Exclude the possibility that all data in the case of the Nord Stream explosions could, in principle, be classified. Sorry, classified from whom? From whom is it classified? From citizens of these countries? From the world community? Maybe from companies that suffered direct losses? From environmentalists?

Who every time feel sorry for the bird, fish, tiger. And then something happened that is difficult to even analyze from the point of view of the consequences for the environment. I’m sorry, but what about the right to access information? You will say that this is another double standard.

I will answer you that this is a lack of standards. Denmark and Sweden have repeatedly stated that they allegedly provide our country with all the necessary information about ongoing investigations. This is not true. In the media, they generate and present ever new versions of what happened.

They only strengthen our doubts about the desire of these states to identify the organizers and perpetrators of this terrorist attack on a critically important energy infrastructure facility. We really doubt that the authorities of these countries have such a desire. If there was a desire, they would behave completely differently.

What is this exciting story worth about some Ukrainian saboteurs on a sailing ship who outwitted Western intelligence agencies? I would like to add that, by scooping water from the bottom of the ship with buckets, they managed to get to the Nord Stream gas pipelines. Why is all this being done?

The goal is obvious: to divert suspicion from those who are really behind the sabotage of a key energy infrastructure facility, which has caused enormous economic and environmental consequences. Naturally, everyone forgot what the US President and his numerous officials said in January, February and March 2022. Do you remember what they said?

They said they would destroy this infrastructure project. But, as they say, Western Europe cannot even think about investigating, let alone conducting this investigation. Moreover, we see that they not only divert attention from key issues, but they also literally clean up the traces of the crime.

They create a false picture of Russia’s involvement in it. All this is done by them in the information space. Probably, after this, according to the law of the genre, as it was before, they will be declared guilty. We have seen how they have worked out a similar scenario many times.

I keep remembering the provocation of the Kyiv regime in the city of Bucha. Do you remember what happened there? When Russian troops left this city, the mayor of Buchi gave an interview and said that everything is calm in this city, everything is fine with the residents, there are no incidents.

But, a day later, the concept changed: photographs appeared of how the streets of this city were literally littered with corpses. But, until now, no one, neither international organizations, nor the Kiev regime, nor volunteers, nor civil society, nor numerous human rights organizations, have seen the lists of people in question.

These lists simply do not exist. We even requested them from the United Nations Secretariat. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov raised this issue with the UN Secretary General, mister Guterres. There are no lists. There were no lists, and there are none. They refuse to provide them to us. We ask them what happens next?

They answer that, in principle, these lists never existed. By the way, they also did not conduct fair trials in the Skripal case. I remember everything. I remember Theresa May’s screams in the British Parliament. I remember the English tabloids. I remember numerous programs on British television. I remember the expulsion of Russian diplomats.

I remember a story about how the daughter of the US President showed Trump photographs of unfortunate ducks in some ponds in Salisbury. The only thing I don’t remember is what Scotland Yard said regarding the Skripals? Surely, after all these years, it should have said something? How many years have passed?

But they didn’t say anything. It happens. This happens to them regularly. Because the same thing happened with Litvinenko. The same thing happened with the alleged poisoning of Navalny. This happens to them regularly. This is their style. Each of these theatrical productions was needed only to put pressure on our country.

This is to explain once again why Russian diplomats need to be expelled, why they need to refuse to fulfill bilateral or multilateral obligations. This is in order to convince their audience not to take part in any Russian forum, not to invest in Russia.

Relatively speaking, this is to refuse full-scale interaction with our country. Or, for example, this is in order to not fulfill promises in the field of visas. Each time they performed a performance. They have no evidence of our country’s guilt, and they simply cannot be.

I am now talking about those publications that are already beginning to appear in the West on this subject. Despite massive propaganda, this time the Western elites failed to fool their own public. Remember their hysterical reaction to the resonant material published in February of this year by the famous American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh.

I will remind you of what the reaction was. Silence. There is no such journalist in the United States of America. There used to be a Pulitzer winner, and then suddenly he was gone. Although, he is alive, he is healthy, and he publishes his investigations.

After conducting a detailed analysis of the circumstances of the terrorist attack on Nord Streams, Seymour Hersh directly pointed out that the bombing of these gas pipelines was the result of a secret operation by the US Navy and the Norwegian military.

And in March and June of this year, the Western edition of The Wall Street Journal reported that Western intelligence services knew about the preparation of a terrorist attack on Nord Streams. The publication indicated that this was done by the Kyiv regime. Western intelligence agencies knew about this.

Biden said six months before the terrorist attack that the United States would destroy this infrastructure project. Then Nuland said about it. Biden and Nuland talked about this. Of course, the American intelligence services knew about this, they watch their American TV. The problem is that American intelligence agencies didn’t just know about it.

Today, German media, citing sources familiar with the investigation into the explosions at Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, openly say that the crime leads to the Kyiv regime. Just as the strings, from the point of view of the Western media, lead to the Kyiv regime,

So money flows along these same strings there. I apologize, when this scene around the Skripals was played out, they blamed Russia for everything. They expelled Russian diplomats from the country. This was done by almost all NATO countries, as well as those countries that were in solidarity with NATO.

Can you imagine if the same British tabloids would write that Russia is to blame for everything connected with Skripal, and Downing Street would immediately allocate some tranches to our country? How is that? Now, I’m just curious. German media write that all the threads lead to the Kyiv regime.

And Nord Stream is a project in which German investors invested their money. And then the German Defense Minister says that the Kyiv regime needs to supply even more weapons, and accordingly, money too. How can it be? It is curious that representatives of the Western political establishment will never

Publicly admit this, but they share these assessments. For example, remember Kissinger’s assessments in a conversation with Russian pranksters in July of this year. In principle, that’s exactly what he said. After a year, it became clear to absolutely everyone that the authorities of the European

Union states, primarily Germany, purposefully refuse to take a non-partisan position on issues that concern Russia. They very clearly demonstrated their inability and even disinterest in identifying the true culprits of the terrorist attack on the gas pipeline. This is despite the fact that everything happened in the area of responsibility of the EU and

NATO, off their coasts, and the Europeans themselves suffered costs and losses. A direct consequence of such spinelessness and obsessive reluctance to defend its interests and protect its own energy security was the loss of even theoretical chances for the European Union to gain strategic autonomy.

The current authorities in Germany and almost all other EU members have unconditionally submitted to the openly anti-Russian course dictated to them by the Anglo-Saxons. You know, there is a historical anecdote. Germany has always, throughout the centuries, dreamed of becoming a colonialist. This desire made it a colony.

Of course, Russia will take this fact into account in its foreign policy planning, including when building foreign economic relations. We intend to complete the investigation of the terrorist attack on Nord Streams that occurred last September. And we will make every effort, including within multilateral formats, to ensure that the truth becomes public knowledge.

Among our next steps is a briefing of the UN Security Council scheduled for September 26 on the occasion of the so-called anniversary of the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines. I would like to remind you that over the past year our country has repeatedly raised this

Issue in the UN Security Council. On our initiative, Security Council meetings on this topic were held on February 21 and July 11 of this year. On March 27, due to active resistance from Western delegations, the Russian draft resolution providing for the establishment of an international mechanism to investigate the explosion of

Gas pipelines did not receive a sufficient number of votes. The West does not want an objective international investigation, so it blocked the corresponding draft resolution.
