President Dmitry Medvedev will send a group of Russian experts to South Korea to examine the results of a probe into the sinking of a South Korean warship, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.
"Medvedev believes it is crucial to establish the true cause of the loss of the vessel and to establish beyond all doubt who bears personal responsibility for what happened," the press service said in a special statement.
It said Medvedev took the decision in response to a proposal from South Korea.
South Korea's 1,200-ton Cheonan corvette sank near the disputed Northern Limit Line in the Yellow Sea on March 26 with the loss of 46 lives. After an investigation, Seoul accused North Korea of firing a torpedo from a submarine at the vessel.
