(Original air date: March 5, 2023) In Part 3 of our interview with #Russia's First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy, we discuss the lack of diplomacy between the United States and its #NATO partners with Russia and their failure to negotiate #peace in this ongoing conflict, as the casualties continue to mount on both sides. We also asked Ambassador Polyanskiy to respond to allegations of Russian interference in American and Canadian elections (aka the "#Russiagate" hoax). Russia recently introduced a draft resolution to the U.N. Security Council calling for an independent investigation of what happened to the Nord Stream pipelines. We ask Ambassador Polyanskiy to explain Russia's position on the #Nordstream explosions: mechanical malfunction or sabotage? Finally, Ambassador Polyanskiy addresses nuclear warmongering and clarifies Russia's doctrine for using nuclear weapons. --- Our work is completely viewer-supported.
