The Russian Foreign Ministry called on Washington, Pyongyang and Seoul to express more tolerance to each other while solving a conflict over Seoul-Washington joint drills.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Russian Foreign Ministry called Monday on Washington, Pyongyang and Seoul to exercise restraint and now allow the situation to reach the point of uncontrollable spreading of conflict amid Seoul-Washington joint drills.

On Sunday, South Korea and the United States began their largest-ever joint exercises amid increased tensions on the Korean Peninsula. On Thursday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered the military to prepare to use its nuclear weapons at any moment in light of the exercise, according to the country’s state media reports.

The Russian ministry called on all sides "to exercise prudence and restraint, and not allow the situation to slip to the point after which uncontrollable spreading of the conflict on the peninsula begins."
