The draft resolution was sponsored by the Russian delegation in the security council in regard to establishing a commission for the purpose of investigating the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline.

Three member states voted in favor and the 12 other members abstained. 

Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia contended that some parties are actively trying to cover up the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines.

"Precious time is being wasted, and there are increasing suspicions that within these investigations, efforts are being made not to shed light on what happened with the acts of sabotage, but rather to hide evidence and to clean up the crime scene," Nebenzia said during a UN Security Council meeting.
