IS RUSSIA WORRIED ABOUT NORTH KOREA? KIM JONG UN WOULD CONSIDER 'WAR'

Russian ambassador to North Korea has warned that a United Nations should attempt to cut all the oil supplies to the nation could spark a global conflict.

In an interview with Russia state-run media, envoy Alexander Matsegora noted Wednesday that his country's national security was being undermined by the nuclear and missile tests that have isolated North Korea from the international community—and made Pyongyang the target of a U.S.-led "maximum pressure" campaign.

As a result, Russia has joined U.N. sanctions against the government of North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un, but Matsegora argued that going too far would be tantamount to declaring war.
