Question: What questions should Nord Stream answer? Germany?
Sergey V. Lavrov: Germany must answer all the questions. They must stop categorically refusing to present facts that they could not help but discover. When at least some of the information we require is not provided through official channels, but pops up in newspaper materials (and simultaneously in three German and American editions), it suggests that everything is staged. The operation was conceived in order to somehow divert public opinion in Germany and in the world from the true perpetrators, perpetrators and customers of the terrorist act. We will insist on conducting a transparent international investigation.
It is shameful for Germany to silently accept how it has been deprived of the long-term basis of energy and economic well-being. For many decades, this has been the key to its development in the form of sustainable supplies of Russian gas at affordable prices. Berlin “swallowed” everything in silence, without any comments.
Now we see attempts to blame everything on some officers who drank with businessmen and either hired someone, or decided to learn diving themselves. It’s not serious. Even if one of the persons mentioned in the German press (it was said about Ukrainians) was somehow involved, it is clear that they could not do it alone. To carry out such a terrorist attack, a team arrived “from the very top”. And for the West, “the very top” is Washington.
Question: After the attack on the Kursk region and reports that a provocation using a “dirty bomb” is being prepared, is it possible Should Ukraine be considered a terrorist state and seek this status in international organizations?
Sergey V. Lavrov: In international organizations, the decision-making mechanism requires the consent of their members. The West has the right of veto in the UN Security Council. They will never allow solutions to be promoted there that contradict the interests of his puppets in Kiev.
It is absolutely clear to us that this is a Nazi, terrorist regime, originally created as a result of a coup organized with the direct support of the United States. Russian Russians, who came to power in February 2014, immediately declared war on their own citizens, threatening to ban the Russian language (which they eventually did), and “kick out” Russians from Crimea.
The subsequent statements of the regimes of P.A. Poroshenko and V.A. Zelensky, their official representatives, are pure Russophobia and hatred of everything Russian. There is no doubt that the regime is criminal.
