Nord Stream Sabotage: Russia Wants Int’l Probe; US Says It’s Trying to Divert Attention From Ukraine

Russia took its allegations of a U.S. plot to blow up the Nord Stream undersea natural gas pipelines to the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday, calling for an independent international inquiry. A U.S. diplomat flatly denied the allegation, again, and accused Russia of trying to divert attention away from this week’s anniversary of its invasion of Ukraine. The council was also treated to a song by an anti-war activist.
