Do not drive N. Korea into corner, sanctions alone will not solve problem – Putin | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that the North Korean nuclear crisis cannot be resolved by sanctions alone. He called on the international community not to drive Pyongyang into a corner. | |
"It is clear that it is impossible to solve the problems of the Korean peninsula by sanctions alone and pressure," Putin said in Vladivostok, following talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-In. | |
"One should not give in to emotions and drive North Korea into a corner," the Russian leader stated on Tuesday. | |
"Without political and diplomatic tools, it is very difficult to transpose the situation. To be more precise, I think it is altogether impossible." | |
"Our specific considerations are set out in the Russian-Chinese road-map," Putin added. | |
“We call on all interested parties to take a closer look at this initiative, which, in our view, offers a realistic way to reduce tensions and gradually approach a settlement," the Russian leader noted. |
