UNITED NATIONS, February 18. /TASS/. On Friday, Russia put forward a draft UN Security Council resolution about an inquiry into last year’s sabotage of its Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations said on his Telegram channel.

"Today, we circulated a draft resolution about holding an independent inquiry under the aegis of the UN Secretary General, to look into explosions that targeted the Nord Stream. We will press for putting it to a vote next week," Polyansky wrote.

The UN Security Council session on last year’s Nord Stream explosions will take place on February 22.

In a resolution adopted unanimously at Thursday's plenary meeting, the Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament) has urged the UN Security Council to investigate the sabotage attack on Russia’s Nord Stream gas system and punish the masterminds and perpetrators.

The text of the document points to the data presented by US journalist Seymour Hersh about the US and Norway being behind the attack on Nord Stream.
