7. SOUNDBITE (English) Dmitry Polyanskiy, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation:
“The fact that Wagner Group was making a rebellion against the Russian government, doesn’t it show that Russian government was not involved in the situation? Many of Wagner fighters are real patriots of Russia, we admit it, and that's why they were participating in this fight against NATO and Ukraine. That was their deliberate decision, and we respect It, and we hope that there will be others who will be joining our legitimate fight for our freedom and independence.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Dmitry Polyanskiy, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation:
“The country has become more stronger, and the President's support has consolidated, and I think that's quite obvious for everyone who is open mindedly analysing Russia or not who has some Russophobic optics. They are of course, disappointed and I think that we will continue to disappoint them even more.”

Russian ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy today (27 Jun) called on the authorities of Germany, Denmark and Sweden to update the Council on the course of their investigation of the 26 September bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline.
Following a closed-door meeting of the Security Council, Polyanskiy told reporters that “in the meantime, we have learned that they have organized - the authorities of these countries in particular Denmark - they have organized the tour of journalists to the place of the sabotage with all the equipment, making pictures, showing, showing certain aspects of the situation and of course promoting the conspiracy theories that would be aimed at shielding one country which, we all will know about.”
He said the Russian Federation has “all the reasons to demand from these authorities to speed up the investigation and to update the Council on the results before we consider further steps how to make those who are behind this crime accountable.”
Asked by a journalist about the recent developments in Russia, Polyanskiy said, “the fact that Wagner Group was making a rebellion against the Russian government, doesn’t it show that Russian government was not involved in the situation? Many of Wagner fighters are real patriots of Russia, we admit it, and that's why they were participating in this fight against NATO and Ukraine. That was their deliberate decision, and we respect It, and we hope that there will be others who will be joining our legitimate fight for our freedom and independence.”
He said, “the country has become more stronger,” and President Vladimir Putin's support “has consolidated.”
