Transcripts

colleagues thank you very much for your

patience we had a very Vivid discussion

right now in the consultation room of

the security Council uh first on Libya

and then on northstream and uh the topic

that we raised was linked to The

Sensational journalist investigations in

Germany and we of course judging from

the media and it looks like those who

drafted them were initially making up a

scenario of a Hollywood Blockbuster

but then the plans have changed so only

a child or a very naive person can

believe that three amateur divers are

behind this

blast can really ah okay so should I

should I repeat the the FL okay so uh

looks that those who drafted these

scenarios were initially working on a

scenario for a Hollywood Blockbuster and

then the plans changed and only a child

or a very naive person can believe that

three am divers are behind this blast so

uh those who promote this fairy tale

want to create a smoke screen around

confessions of us top officials in the

sabotage of the northstream which are

widely

known uh actually only one thing is

clear Germany has important information

about this terrorist act which it shares

with journalists but conceals from the

security

Council when we say that Germany must

cooperate at with International

Community and disclose the information

about its finding it's not some kind of

a wish but it's something that each

should do in line with this obligation

under International Convention for the

suppression of terrorist bombings signed

in

1998 and we hope that Berlin will heed

this request and duly inform the

security Council about its findings in

the nearest

Future in any case I want you to rest

assured that Russia will not be misled

and will not drop its effort to ensure

accountability for those who are behind

this terrorist act and we will also

continue to insist on International

transparent investigation under the opes

of the UN Security Council and uh its

necessity has become even more clear to

us after what we have read uh in US and

German

media thank you very

much secur council meeting on this and

how other member states react to the nor

stre uh

of course at some point we will bring it

to the attention of the security Council

most likely the open briefing the

reaction was very mixed I think most uh

country members are worried uh of the

fact that uh everybody is speaking about

about this this is kind of an elephant

in the room which escapes the security

Council uh strangely enough and uh of

course the Western countries are trying

to imply that they still uh believe uh

in the integrity and the professionalism

of of German investigation they were

saying the same things about the Swedish

investigation and danish investigation

and we remember that their only

conclusion was that the north

northstream was in fact blown up that

was the genial conclusion of this

investigation so we have serious doubts

about it but the question is not in in

this right now the question is uh that

Germany should share what it has so far

with the security Council it's its

obligation and it's something that we

expect uh to be done uh in the nearest

Future Mr Ambassador um you just said um

that Germany should share the results of

its investigation with the security

Council what other actions would Russia

like to see in relation to the

nordstream explosions well first of all

uh we don't find uh the the findings

that we uh we can decide we can judge

about them only through internet and

through through the media we don't find

them plausible uh it raises a lot of

questions uh again I I told you that

only a very naive person or a

kindergarten child could uh believe in

such in such a logic uh that that a r

group of three divers nonprofessional uh

blowing up this this pipeline then only

solusion is to blame zansi is not to

blame uh Americans are

uh offended uh and still they Supply

arms to Ukraine and still they support

ke regime and Z is not dismissed and he

is ambassador to to to the UK again this

is kind of a Hollywood Blockbuster but

not not not real world so we have quite

a lot of uh doubts about this the only

way to find out the truth we believe it

is international investigation we

proposed at some point of time you

remember draft uh un Security Council

resolution uh with the

questions to Secretary General how to

organize better such kind of

Investigation we think that this should

be the first stage because we need truth

and we of course we will uh afterwards

seek accountability uh to those who are

behind this attack there should be

absolutely no doubt no doubt about

it uh turning to another topic have uh

any of West members of the security

Council provide any reaction to Ukraine

incursion in K region

you know it's a very interesting

question because so far they are very

timid and uh uh I would say inactive in

this regard because they are they feel

uh clearly awkward about what's

happening in ksk first of all there is a

almost unanimity in in in Ukrainian

society and in Ukrainian uh few left uh

unsuppressed uh media outlets in Ukraine

that this is a big strategic blunder and

what's happening right now uh it's not

it hasn't achieved any goals that were

formulated and you remember that these

goals were the uh seizure of ksk power

plant and then attempts to bargain it

with Russia and also uh withdrawal of

Russian detachments from the Eastern

front so these uh things are not

achieved evidently Ukraine is losing

ground very quickly uh in the Eastern

front it loses the position which were

fortified and which were maintained

there since the maidan coup since

2014 and everybody is understanding that

this is this is a very fatal scenario

for Ukraine uh so on the one hand on the

other hand these events they they have

shown quite clearly the true colors of

the kill of the KF regime because people

are being killed shops are being looted

pregnant women are being killed the uavs

are being targeted uh to ambulances and

to volunteers yesterday there were two

volunteers killed there are a lot of

people in NY inia and even Western U

journalists who illegally by the way

enter the Russian Federation which we

condemned with Ukrainian troops even

they cannot conceal this though it

proves that the roots of Nazism is very

deep in the Ukrainian Society all this

awkward uh setting they create a very

very special atmosphere for the for our

Western colleagues and they are not

opening their mouth so far because they

are afraid that if they open uh their

mouths and if they say something they

will be deadly compromised on on the

actions of of the Ukrainian military uh

of course our society has Consolidated

uh there are even more volunteers coming

to the front and I have absolutely no

reasons to doubt that the uh the

followers of Nazis in Ukraine will have

the same and glorious uh end as the

followers of Hitler in Germany 80 years

ago Ambassador uh follow up I'm just

feel a little bit curious you just

mentioned a international investigation

and you you think Russia would draft a

resolution in to take action back on

North North stream yes so my question is

who do you think is capable or which

agency do you think is capable to lead

this International investigation and if

you draft a

resolution do you expect it even to be

adopted in the security Council on this

matter if if the this kind of resolution

is not adopted then of course it will uh

it will testify of the unwillingness of

uh those countries who will not support

this resolution to seek uh justice and

accountability and it will of course

point out to the weakness of Security

Council and to inability to protect

critical International infrastructure it

may really Bears very serious

consequences for international uh

community in for international

cooperation if you recall our previous

draft on the investigation on North

stream sabotage we didn't uh prejudge

the uh shape of the commission the

agency all these things we wanted the

advice of Secretary General his

recommendations to the Council of of how

better to proceed we specifically did it

this way because we didn't want to force

anybody into anything we wanted another

discussion before we could set up this

uh International commission which should

be trusted the whole uh the whole uh

support of of the international

Community but we didn't even come this

way and uh still at this moment we are

stuck when Western colleagues are saying

the investigation in going on we should

wait for the results but everybody knows

about these results allegedly we don't

know is it whether it's true or not

everybody except the security Council

what kind of situation is this this is

some kind of disrespect of the the key

uh body of that is responsible for

International Peace and security and

this disrespect happened with a uh with

a clear insight from our Western

colleagues that's what I what I have to

State

mrad there's been a lot of surprise

internationally that the Ukrainian

incursion intercurse has lasted so long

and according to the ukrainians taken

more and more territory what's your

response to that in terms of both the

surprise and the extent of the incursion

well I'm not a military man I'm not a

military strategist I have some historic

background that's true I can recall to

you for example 80 years ago there was a

surprise German verm operation in the

Western Front it was called ardans

operation everybody was also in Germany

saying that this is a turn in the War uh

but this was a strategic plot uh by the

allies and the German Army Was Defeated

and uh it had Beed very serious

consequences I I think that the

Ukrainian dictator also will regret it

very much and there will be of course

consequences for Ukraine uh fatal

consequences maybe and but the decision

is made and I I think also that the

whole the whole country uh is regretting

this move right now except for zilinsky

and his click okay thank you very much
