Seoul, South Korea – South Korea slammed Russia’s “irresponsible” veto blocking the renewal of a panel of UN experts monitoring international sanctions on North Korea, with the vote following accusations Pyongyang is aiding Moscow in its war in Ukraine.
The move, which comes weeks after the body said it was investigating reports of arms transfers between Pyongyang and Moscow, was met with a flurry of criticism, including from Ukraine and the United States. The veto at the Security Council does not remove the sanctions on North Korea, but it spells the end for the group monitoring their implementation — and myriad alleged violations.North Korea has been under mounting sanctions since 2006, put in place by the UN Security Council in response to its nuclear program.
