Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that sanctions are not enough to resolve the North Korean nuclear crisis, urging that dialogue is need to achieve progress.
Putin made the comments after meeting with his South Korean counterpart, President Moon Jae-in, on the sidelines of an economic summit in the far eastern Russian city of Vladivostok, Reuters reported.
The Russian leader also denounced Sunday's nuclear test by North Korea, its the largest to date, and said his country did not recognize the Hermit Kingdom’s nuclear status.
“Pyongyang’s missile and nuclear program is a crude violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, undermines the non-proliferation regime and creates a threat to the security of northeastern Asia,” Putin said at a joint news conference. “At the same time, it is clear that
it is impossible to resolve the problem of the Korean Peninsula only by sanctions and pressure.”
