According to him, representatives of states that doubt the need for an international investigation believe that "first we need to wait for the end of national investigations."
Nebenzia noted that such investigations could last for years "in the same inefficient and non-transparent manner."
"And valuable time is running out and there are more and more suspicions that the efforts within the framework of these investigations are aimed not at clarifying the circumstances of the sabotage that occurred, but at hiding evidence and cleaning up the crime scene," TASS quoted the diplomat as saying.
China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Geng Shuang during a meeting of the UN Security Council said that Beijing regrets the failure of the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution to investigate the explosions on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines.
On March 27, the UN Security Council did not adopt the resolution proposed by Russia on the investigation of the explosions on Nord Streams.
Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Nebenzia warned that Russia will draw the appropriate conclusions from the results of the vote.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier that he agreed with the conclusions that US intelligence agencies were behind the attacks.
