Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that the U.S. and other like minded nations that pressure policies against North Korea won't work and that the current situation can only be resolved through unconditional dialogue.
Putin's statement, which comes after the U.S. and South Korea conducted a mock bombing run along the peninsula in response to North Korea's Tuesday missile test, suggests future Russian support for more sanctions at the United Nations may not be forthcoming.
