MOSCOW. May 23 (Interfax-AVN) - The Russian military command will do its best to prevent North Korean nuclear tests.

"We must do everything to resume the six-nation negotiations (between North Korea, South Korea, Japan, China, Russia and the United States - Interfax). It is most important to prevent the tests and use of nuclear weapons in the northern part on the Korean Peninsula," Baluyevsky said.
