MOSCOW. Jan 26 (Interfax) - Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has urged reporters not to trust statements attributed to anonymous intelligence sources, which allege Russia's re-export of North Korean coal to third countries, and underlined Moscow's commitment to all international obligations regarding North Korea.
Peskov was asked to comment on press reports citing sources in Western intelligence services, which said that Russia was delivering North Korean coal to South Korea and Japan in evasion of the sanctions. "You should not listen to unnamed sources in intelligence services," he said.
"We are not going to verify [these reports]; we have not heard any official statements to this effect," Peskov said.
"Russia is a responsible member of the international community, and it is committed to international rules and sanctions," he said.
