Russia failed to gain enough votes on Monday at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for its proposed resolution to investigate attacks on the Nordstream pipeline.
Only three countries voted in favor of the proposed resolution, with 12 countries abstaining.
At least nine votes in favor were needed to pass the proposed resolution; however, the United States would still have been able to veto the move if it chose to.
US Ambassador Robert Wood told the UNSC that the US had nothing to do with the attack on the pipelines. He also questioned why Russia would attempt to pass the resolution after most UNSC members had expressed discontent towards the idea.
Vassily Nebenzia, Russian ambassador to the UN, said the truth will not be uncovered and urged the need for accountability.
