In her weekly briefing March 30, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova emphasized two key areas in which the Putin government will continue to demand action from the West.
Russia will demand reports from those countries conducting national investigations into the terror attack on the Nord Stream pipelines (Germany, Sweden and Denmark). “We will continue to raise this topic, which is inconvenient for the West. We will continue to return to it and make these countries return to it, demanding a report on national investigations,” she said. “To avoid the repetition of such attacks in the future, to protect the global energy infrastructure is only possible by establishing the truth and punishing those who are behind this terrorist attack,” Zakharova said.
Secondly, she reported that Russia is also calling for an independent investigation into last year’s events in Bucha, outside Kiev in Ukraine, where Russia was falsely accused of a “massacre” that was actually carried out by Ukrainian Nazis. Russia calls on the UN to publish a list of the alleged victims. “It is necessary to carry out a fair, impartial, independent investigation which should be focused on giving answers to four questions: identification of bodies, time and cause of death, signs of possible transportation of the bodies.”
