Ex-spy Ritter: the world began to “wake up” from US actions

At a meeting of the UN Security Council, where during the discussion of one of the topics the issue of the involvement of the United States in sabotage at the Nord Streams was raised, one could observe how the world community “wakes up” from Washington’s actions, said “IzvestiaFormer American spy Scott Ritter.

As evidence, Ritter cited the reports of American experts – ex-CIA officer Ray McGovern and economist Jeffrey Sachs. Their statements can only reinforce those articles and investigations that already expose US involvement in the terrorist attacks on the pipelines, Ritter said.

“What the United States has done is simply beyond comprehension. We attacked the extremely important energy infrastructure of the Russian Federation on the territory of our closest allies, our friends”he clarified.

Washington has yet to realize the consequences of this “heinous act,” but it certainly will not turn out well for the States, Ritter concluded.

Earlier, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said at a meeting of the General Assembly that the West would have to answer for the sabotage it had carried out at Nord Stream.

Sabotage at Nord Stream

The Nord Stream gas pipelines were attacked on September 26 last year. Germany, Denmark and Sweden admitted that there was a deliberate sabotage. At the same time, Russia was not allowed to participate in the investigation for a long time.

President Vladimir Putin said that what happened is an act of international terrorism, in which the Anglo-Saxons are involved.

Compensation for damage to Nord Stream was estimated at 17 billion euros. On the fact of the incidents in Russia, a criminal case was opened on the commission of an act of international terrorism.

Seymour Hersh published an article in January describing an investigation into the explosions at the Nord Stream gas pipelines. In his material, the journalist indicated that the United States had carried out the sabotage, and personally the American President Joe Biden gave the corresponding order.

Hersh in an exclusive interview REN TV confirmed the authenticity of his investigation and noted that he considers his article one of the best among those published by The New York Times and The Washington Post.
