Another veto from Moscow

Russia vetoed the UN Security Council statement, which speaks of the special concern, condemnation and serious warning of the leadership of North Korea from further tests of missiles. By the way, the last launch was unsuccessful.

Moscow did not like the text presented by the United States. In particular – “extreme concern” because of the actions of the leadership of the DPRK, which leads to destabilization of the situation in the region. And as a result, the international community can resort to serious measures against the leaders of the country. In the US document, there was a call not to test nuclear weapons in the region at all.

The representative of Russia insisted on including in the text of the document the words about the need for dialogue with the DPRK in order to settle the conflict.

Moscow’s veto was a surprise for diplomats, since the Russian Federation’s ally had no objections.
