So he responded to a request to comment on the worsening situation between the United States and the DPRK and the mutual exchange of threats between the two countries and the question of whether in Moscow that Russia needed to intervene at the diplomatic level.
“Of course, Russia has a fairly consistent position on the non-proliferation dossier continues to hold this position continues to be a supporter of political-diplomatic methods of resolving all crises, including North Korea”, — said Peskov.

The United States also sent to the shores of the Korean Peninsula a carrier battle group led by the aircraft carrier “Carl Vinson”. North Korea, as in many cases previously, threatened the United States with a nuclear strike.
