#Opinion by Maria #Zakharova:

πŸ’¬ On February 7, 2022, Joe Biden said that Nord Stream would be done for if Russia invades Ukraine: β€œIf Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the ... border of Ukraine again, then there will be ... no longer a Nord Stream 2. We, we will bring an end to it. <…> I promise you, we'll be able to do it.”

US President Joe Biden must answer whether the United States acted on its threat on September 25 and 26, 2022, when an incident occurred on three branches of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, preliminarily qualified as pipeline ruptures, possibly as a result of explosions.

The statement of intent was backed with a pledge. One must take responsibility for one’s words. Failing to understand the meaning of what one is saying does not release one from liability. Europe must know the truth.
MFA Spokeswoman #Zakharova: Although the Western media outlets have recently written much about the need to resume talks on a peaceful settlement to the crisis in Ukraine, the authorities in the US, Canada and West Europe are doing all they can to drag out the hostilities. How are they doing this? By pumping Ukraine full of their own weapons. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirmed on November 4 during his stay in Kiev that Washington would send Kiev another military aid package worth $400 million. This will include over 1,000 kamikaze drones, 250 M1117 armoured vehicles, 40 armoured river boats, and for the first time, 45 upgraded T-72 tanks. The total amount of Washington’s officially announced military aid to Kiev since the start of the special military operation has reached $18.2 billion. This is only what was announced officially
Russian MFA Spokeswoman #Zakharova: We have pointed out more than once that far from all military aid is being used for its designated purpose. A considerable part of it goes back to Europe and ends up in the hands of terrorists and criminals, or goes to various conflict zones throughout the world. At first, we reported on this as a warning, and now we are citing these data as a fait accompli. Today, the Europeans are speaking for themselves – their media and journalists, representatives of the public and law-enforcement bodies.

On November 7 of this year, a group of American experts went to Ukraine to check military aid supplies to Kiev. It appeared that the United States controlled only one tenth of it or 22,000 units of arms. The whereabouts of the rest of the supplied weapons are unknown. Can you imagine what is happening?

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova:

πŸ’¬ Currently, the Joint Coordination Centre in Istanbul is indeed experiencing difficulties with registering new vessels and conducting inspections. They arise solely as a result of actions by Ukrainian representatives as well as UN officials who are apparently unwilling or unable to stand up to them.

❗️Our proposal to add to the registration lists the ships which will then sail to the countries in need, in particular #Africa, as well as those that have been waiting in line for more than one month, was met with hostility by Ukrainian representatives.
