GLENN DIESEN: Welcome to today’s talk. My name is Glenn Diesen and I’m joined by Alexander Mercouris and Dmitry Polyanskiy the First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations.

We really wanted to talk to you [Dmitry] today about the recent developments of Nord Stream or lack
0:21
thereof, because for anyone unfamiliar with Nord Stream, I
0:26
guess the quick summary is [that the Nord Stream pipelines from Russia to Germany were] attacked [blown up, destroyed] in September of 2022. This
0:31
was the biggest industrial attack in Europe in its history, plus an environmental
0:38
disaster. The Americans [Biden] had very openly threatened to destroy it, as
0:43
well as [they had already] sanctioned it; and once it was blown up, we remember they did their victory lap

And yet I found fascinating then that the politicians and media suddenly began to argue that all evidences were pointing
1:02
towards Russia [as having blown them up], even though there was never put forward any evidence [for that], and [NATO’s chief] Stoltenberg even implied this could have
1:08
been an Article Five attack {meaning that it might justify WW3 against Russia], but this was before the Seymour Hersh article which blamed the US [Biden] for the
1:15
attack. And then, we saw the narrative shift. The United States began to argue that it was a pro-Ukrainian group on a
1:21
sailboat who were behind this attack, and several NATO countries then began
1:27
these investigations which we want to ask about today. Russia {the co-owner of the Nord Stream pipelines along with Germany] was excluded from participating in or providing evidence to the investigation. The Russians put
1:33
forward a resolution at the United Nations to establish an independent investigation. From what I understand the
