He noted that the abstaining countries that do not belong to the Western camp were afraid to openly support Russia.

"As always, there was strong pressure from our former Western partners," RIA Novosti quoted Polyansky as saying.

According to him, Western countries have made it clear that they are not interested in supporting the Russian position in the vote.

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.
