Russian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Igor Morgulov said that Russia is not ready to join the new sanctions against North Korea, which would suffocate that country economically, reports the Interfax news agency.

Intefax reports that Morgulov said that the pressure on North Korea is approaching a "red line", adding that US security guarantees to North Korea could be the subject of talks between Pyongyang and the US, reports Reuters.

He points out that Moscow did not have high-level contacts with the new leadership of North Korea, but that it is possible that they will come, writes Tanjug.

"In theory, they (contacts) are possible," Morgulov said, according to Interfax.
