The U.S. Secretary of State has accused Russia of actively working to undermine international sanctions on North Korea, saying their effective enforcement is key to the regime's denuclearization.
In a news briefing at the State Department on Friday, Mike Pompeo accused Moscow of seeking to alter an independent UN report to cover up its alleged violation of UN Security Council sanctions on the North.
Pompeo said he hoped the UN Sanctions Committee would publish the original document which shows clear activities related to Russia's sanctions violations.
At Washington's request,... the UN Security Council will meet on Monday over the implementation of sanctions on North Korea.
