RSIS Commentary No 108, 19 June 2018 (F31)Summary: RUSSIA has consistently opposed North Korea's nuclear weapons programme and advocated dialogue and negotiations as the only way to resolve the crisis. It had strongly criticised American pressure and what it considers United States threats to resolve the issue by force. Moscow sees its stance as having been justified, judging by the comments of President Putin's press spokesman, Dmitry Peskov. According to a RadioFreeEurope/Radio Liberty report dated the 13 June 2018, he told journalists that "just the fact that such a meeting took place and direct first-hand dialogue was started, can only be welcomed". While the meeting had reduced tensions on the Korean Peninsula,he added it would have been wrong to expect all the disagreements over North Korea could be solved in an hour.
