MOSCOW. Feb 13 (Interfax) - It would be futile to impose new sanctions against North Korea, which has conducted another nuclear test, State Duma International Affairs Committee Chairman Alexei Pushkov told a Wednesday press conference at Interfax.
"Sanctions against North Korea are rather serious already, they are unlikely to bring any results," Pushkov said.
In his opinion, North Korea will not abandon its military nuclear program. "I see no reasons for which North Korea would do that," Pushkov said.
"Prosperity is not the principle on which [Korean society] is built," he added.
