Russia and China have blocked the UN Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against North Korea from declaring that Pyongyang breached the annual limit for importing refined petroleum products which are key for its economy, two UN diplomats said Tuesday.

The diplomats said the Russians and Chinese notified the committee before Tuesday's deadline for objections.

A Security Council diplomat said North Korea is believed to have obtained 3.5 million barrels of refined petroleum in 2018, seven times the limit. Last July, Russia and China blocked a similar request from the U.S. to get the U.N. sanctions committee to publicly accuse North Korea of violating the annual quota. The Russians and Chinese are key suppliers of petroleum products to North Korea.

If I get laid off, I'm not suddenly forced to move. Moving costs money. Real poor people stay put. Piss off with this fake news migrant propaganda. Would be a real shame if they elaborated on what caused the war and economic turmoil. Thanks UN!
