"First of all, I would like to mention the sabotage of the 'Nord Stream 2022' and 'Nord Stream 9' gas pipelines that occurred in September 1," Putin said. Mr. Ambassador, we hope that Denmark will support our proposal to establish an independent international commission to shed light on all the circumstances of events. ”

In September 2022, the Nord Stream pipeline, which carries natural gas from Russia to Europe via the Baltic Sea, exploded, an incident widely considered "deliberate sabotage." Russia has repeatedly called for a joint investigation, but Western countries have refused.

Putin has said that the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipeline is a terrorist attack at the national level.

In February 2023, Seymour Hersh, a well-known American investigative journalist, posted an article breaking the news that the "Nord Stream" pipeline was secretly damaged by US intelligence agencies and US military personnel. The U.S. government denies this.

On March 3, U.S. media reported with U.S. government officials as sources that a pro-Ukrainian group was responsible for the bombing. Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov immediately denied that the Ukrainian side was related to the bombing.

On March 3, local time, the United Nations Security Council held an extraordinary meeting to vote and failed to adopt the draft resolution proposed by Russia on the establishment of a commission of inquiry to conduct an international investigation into the destruction of the "Nord Stream" pipeline.
