Sabotage of Russia's Nord Stream gas pipelines benefits US

(MENAFN) According to Russia's permanent representative to the United Nation, Vassily Nebenzia, the United States stands to gain from the destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, not Russia or the European Union.

At the United Nation Security Council, Nebenzia claimed that “the main question is whether what happened to Nord Stream is beneficial to the US? Absolutely. US suppliers of liquefied natural gas should now celebrate a several-fold increase in LNG supplies to the European continent. And from the political point of view – the last thread ensuring EU independence in the terms of energy has been severed.”

The people of Europe is now facing "a very dark, cold and long winter," he continued, while even European production is being hurriedly shifted to the United States due to the energy problem.

The diplomat made a point, “is the destruction of Nord Stream beneficial to European states? Hardly. They would then become dependent on a more expensive and highly unreliable supplier. I am referring to the host country of the UN headquarters [the US]. Leaving aside the Polish, Czech and Baltic politicians, who are completely insane with Russophobia, even with all the anti-Russian hysteria in the EU, experts cannot fail to understand the danger of such a scenario and its consequences for the European economy.”
