"They are denying any access to information, they are denying any participation regardless of the fact that we are an affected party, so we should be part of this investigation, but they are just writing to us some letters saying that we’re doing what we’re doing and mind your own business," he said.
"To be transparent we will publish this whole correspondence quite soon and distribute it among the members of the Security Council," Polyansky added.
The recent information in Western media on Nord Stream accidents is an attempt to divert attention away from what really happened, the diplomat noted.
"Regarding the recent information, I wouldn’t dwell into too much detail. I think it is too obvious that this is really likely to be an attempt to divert attention from what has happened," he said when asked to comment on this week’s reports in Western media saying that a pro-Ukrainian group could have been implicated in the acts of sabotage.
The voting on the resolution on an international investigation into acts of sabotage at Nord Stream pipelines will be held at the UN Security Council most probably in late March, though the work on preliminary approval of the text is not progressing very well, Polyansky said.
"The expert work is not progressing very well, so we are patient, we have conducted three rounds of expert consultations. But at some point, likely by the end of March, we will put this text to vote. And I would not be surprised if Western countries will try to pretend that this is excessive, we don’t need it, the information is not reliable and so on and so forth. You know how they apply double standards in the situation when this is not in their favor," he explained.
