Russia vetoes UN Security Council draft resolution on DPRK.

Russia vetoed a UN resolution, effectively ending UN monitoring of sanctions against North Korea by UN experts. The Security Council resolution, which would have extended the mandate of the panel for a year, was supported by 13 of the 15 council members. Russia's veto has halted the panel's operations, but the sanctions against North Korea remain in place. The move has sparked accusations from Western nations that Russia is shielding its weapons purchases from North Korea for use in its war against Ukraine, in violation of UN sanctions.
