"Russia's Request for Nord Stream Blast Inquiry Denied by UN Security Council"

Russia's proposal for an independent inquiry into the explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines connecting Russia and Germany was rejected by the UN Security Council. The blasts occurred in the exclusive economic zones of Sweden and Denmark, and the national investigations are still ongoing. Russia has complained that it has not been kept informed about the investigations and has maintained, without providing evidence, that the West was behind the blasts.
