Russia has exercised its veto power to block a United Nations Security Council resolution aimed at extending a panel of experts reporting on North Korea's nuclear arsenal development. This action highlights the growing closeness between Moscow and Pyongyang. The reports by the expert panel play a crucial role in shaping international sanctions imposed by the Security Council to prevent North Korea from becoming a nuclear-armed state. By vetoing the extension, Russia has further indicated its support for North Korea, raising concerns within the international community.
