The UN Security Council did not support the Russian-Chinese resolution on the international investigation of the Nord Stream sabotage Monday.
The resolution was supported by 3 countries, with zero votes against and 12 nations abstained. Thus, the resolution failed to receive nine votes required for approval.

The resolution, if adopted, would have requested the Secretary-General to establish an international, independent investigation commission to conduct a comprehensive, transparent and impartial international investigation of all aspects of the act of sabotage on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines — including identification of its perpetrators, sponsors, organizers and accomplices.
