#NordStream
💬 The answer to the question as to who benefits from these developments is obvious. The prime beneficiaries are the US and its suppliers of expensive LNG.
An indicative fact is also Sweden and Denmark’s refusal to allow Russia and the pipeline operator company to take part in the investigation, while there were no objections on their part to the Americans expressing readiness to “join the process.”
#NuclearDeterrence
💬 It is the Americans and their allies who are trying to introduce nuclear rhetoric into public circulation.
Westerners turn everything upside down, alleging that Russia is vocalising nuclear threats and that it can use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, by using various manipulations and outright lies in the process.
President Vladimir Putin and Russian officials have repeatedly made it clear that our nuclear deterrence policy is purely defensive in nature.

#GrainInitiative
🔹 This entire process of exporting grain from the territory of Ukraine was organised under the pretext of securing the interests of the poorest countries.
But the overall picture is as follows: <...> only 3–4 or sometimes 5 percent goes to the poorest countries. Look, is this the outcome for which the deal was designed?
#NordStream
🔹 Europeans have shut their mouths and are keeping silent, as if this is how it should be, even though this is really and profoundly contrary to their interests. Moreover, somebody had the brass to suggest that it was Russia that blew up its own facility.
#Ukraine
🔹 In order to reach agreements, you should sit down at the negotiating table and talk. <...> How can we now discuss possible agreements if the other party is not even willing to talk to us?

⚡️Nord Stream blast timeline per #Hersh disclosures
#СGTN has released a very informative video based on the bombshell article by the American journalist Seymour Hersh. It’s extremely important not only for Russia but also for the world community to find out what lies at the bottom of that terrorist attack.
❗️Eventually truth will out.

#NordStream
Key points:
🔹Publicly and in writing on behalf of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, we sent inquiries to his counterparts in Germany, Denmark and Sweden. We have sent multiple official diplomatic notes to these countries asking them to give us answers and allow us to participate in inspecting the section of gas pipelines that had been targeted by the terrorists. No clear reaction followed, except them saying they will figure it out themselves.
☝️They aren’t sure what to say, especially after Mr. Hersh published his findings and vowed to continue to publish additional estimates and findings. For us, this came as an extra factor that forced us to submit a UN Security Council resolution, which is now being discussed, and which we will definitely put to a vote. We want investigations.
🔹As you may be aware, in Western states, in their basic laws, an attack targeting critical infrastructure is equated to a declaration of war. In this particular case, if it’s established that a terrorist attack against a NATO country’s critical infrastructure was perpetrated by another NATO country it will bring up the question about the rationale for NATO, which declares as its goal protecting member countries from outside attacks, but at the same time makes possible attacks on one of its members from within the bloc. This is a rather interesting question.
