MOSCOW. Feb 26 (Interfax) - Moscow is concerned by the additional sanctions that the United States unilaterally imposed on North Korea, including the intention to inspect cargo ships, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Monday.
"We are worried by the fact that the United States has taken another step to increase pressure on North Korea at a time when the perspective of a dialogue between Pyongyang and Seoul seems to have emerged and the pause taken for the period of the Olympic Games in PyeongChang seems to have been honored," Ryabkov said.
"The declared U.S. sanctions have a number of aspects causing our concern, among them the unilateral U.S. inspections of the so-called suspicious cargo," he said.
