The anniversary of the Sept. 26, 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines has brought with it many calls for an end to the cover-up and for a transparent investigation. For example, TASS reported that Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said: “There are more signs indicating that, instead of clarifying the circumstances, there are attempts to conceal them. Thus, a campaign is taking place in Western media space for promoting absurd versions of what had happened,” the Russian diplomat told the UN Security Council on Sept. 26. Nebenzia then made fun of the various tall tales about whodunnit, concluding that “each of them denies Washington’s involvement in this crime.”
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented in her Telegram channel on the latest revelations by Seymour Hersh: “Hersh’s investigation is bigger than Watergate. American presidents have never gone so far. The Biden administration is obliged to give a thorough response on all points.”
