MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia welcomes any statements or actions contributing to the de-escalation of tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the Kremlin said Wednesday following the new South Korean leader's pledge to resolve a US missile system dispute through dialogue.
"Moscow welcomes any statements or actions aimed at de-escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Newly-elected South Korean President Moon Jae-in said earlier Wednesday he was ready to settle issues raised by the deployment of the US Terminal-High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in discussions with the United States and China.
