Russian Foreign Ministry: pressure and sanctions will not resolve Korean crisis


18.12.2017

Russian Foreign MinistryRussia calls Washington and Pyongyang for starting a dialogue, RIA Novosti reports. According to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov the dialogue will decrease tension in the conflict. It was his comment on session of the UN Security Council about North Korea held the day before.

Only a dialogue, mutual restraint and willingness to find a ground for making a step ahead will balance the situation, the Russian diplomat believes.

He has also noted that our country is worried that the West is seeking to resolve the conflict by force and pressure.

It is highly unfavorable that the spiral of confrontation will twist around, despite all efforts of Russia and China, Deputy Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation has commented.

An alternative way of resolution is presented in the road map drawn by Moscow and Beijing, Sergei Ryabkov added. He has expressed regrets that US and North Korea continue setting preliminary conditions for starting a dialogue and is sure that sanctions and pressure will not bring desirable results.

It is high time we stopped racing of threats, pressure, blackmail, preliminary conditions and started searching a political solution, Deputy Foreign Minister has underlined.
