Russia raises concerns on N.Korea sanctions package, delays vote

Russian ambassador to UN says U.S. has provided accommodations on proposed sanctions

Russia insisted Monday afternoon that it needed 24 hours to review a United States-drafted sanctions resolution on North Korea, despite a U.S. request for the United Nations Security Council to vote on it by Monday.

When the vote was to have taken place on Monday afternoon, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin told reporters that he had gotten accommodations on its contents from the U.S., without specifying what they were.
