MOSCOW - Reuters

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Nov. 7 that Moscow has never supported the imposition of a complete embargo on North Korea, RIA news agency reported.

Ryabkov added that attempts by the United States to resolve all problems with sanctions were extremely alarming and that the crisis around North Korea would be addressed in President Vladimir Putin's meeting with U.S. counterpart Donald Trump.

Ryabkov said there was no clarity when the meeting will take place, RIA reported. Russian officials have said Putin and Trump would meet at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Vietnam this week.
