Director of the Department for nonproliferation and arms control, the Russian foreign Ministry Mikhail Ulyanov commented on U.S. policy towards the DPRK.
“Sanctions are not a panacea, and that our American partners make a clear bet solely on the methods of pressure, first of all sanctions, is really a road to nowhere, it means they admit their own weaknesses,” — said Ulyanov during a press conference in MIA “Russia today”.
However, he noted that the DPRK issue has no military solution, the conflict will lead to disaster.
“We believe that military solution to this conflict, because it is associated with catastrophic consequences not only for South Korea but for the entire region,” — said Ulyanov.
He added that Russia will not accept a military solution to the conflict.
Previously, the press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow is convinced of the inevitability of a politico-diplomatic settlement of the situation around North Korea, as a different solution to the conflict can lead to disastrous consequences.
