Russia Condemns New US Sanctions on North Korea

The Russian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned new U.S. sanctions imposed on Pyongyang.



The Russian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned new U.S. sanctions imposed on Pyongyang.
“Any sanctions which were imposed unilaterally and not under the auspices of the United Nations were illegitimate,” Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian ministry said.
US Secretary of State Spokesperson Heather Nauert had said: “On February 22, 2018, the United States determined that the Government of North Korea used the chemical warfare agent VX to assassinate Kim Jong Nam, in the Kuala Lumpur airport.”

Kim Jong-nam, the elder half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, died on February 13, 2017, on the way to hospital from the Kuala Lumpur airport. Before his death, he applied to the airport’s ground service for help, complaining about strong dizziness and saying that an unknown person had sprayed some liquid in his face and escaped.
