Russia does not accept Pyongyang's demands

Russia does not accept North Korea's claims to the status of a nuclear state, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Security Council Vasily Nebenzya said after the election on a new resolution on North Korea.

"Russia does not accept North Korea's claims to the status of a nuclear state and supports all UN Security Council resolutions demanding an end to Pyongyang's nuclear missile programs in the interests of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," Nebenzya said.

The UN Security Council on Monday night approved new sanctions against North Korea that will restrict North Korea's ability to import and export.
