The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, in an interview with the Russian agency "Ria Novosti" spoke of relations between Russia and the United States which are going through a difficult period. Important is the ability of these two countries to find compromises for the sake of the security of much of the world. “I am very concerned about the crisis surrounding North Korea as a whole and I think it is imperative to avoid a loss of control over the situation. Clearly, North Korea must abide by international law and Security Council resolutions. And the same must be done by all states ”, said the secretary general, commenting with the agency on the adoption of new sanctions against the Asian country. “But we must welcome the Security Council resolutions not only as a fundamental tool of pressure on North Korea, but also as a means of achieving a diplomatic solution. That is, we must rigidly condemn the nuclear and missile tests of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with the clear goal of a nuclear-free Korean peninsula. At the same time we must understand that a military solution would be a disaster, ”continued Guterres, adding:“ We must do everything to create the conditions for a diplomatic initiative and a political solution. In my opinion, the unity of the Security Council is necessary for this.
