- Military strike on North Korea may not succeed - Vladmir Putin.
- Nobody knows where North Korean military facilities are located with 100% certainty.
- Putin calls for continuous diplomacy in resolving the North Korean crisis.
Russian President Valdmir Putin has stated that a combined military strike against North Korea may not be an overall success due to the country's closed nature.
Whilst speaking at an energy forum in Moscow, Putin who has remained opposed to military action against North Korea stated that although such an action may succeed in disarming North Korea, he doubts the overall success of such a mission.
"Can a global strike against North Korea be launched to disarm it? Yes. Will it achieve its aim? We don't know. Who knows what they have there and where. Nobody knows with 100 percent certainty as it's a closed country."
The Russian leader also reiterated his call for diplomacy to be allowed to run its course and for all sides to dial down the bellicose rhetoric. He also said he thought Trump was listening to Russia's views on the crisis.
