Russia veto ends UN monitoring of N.Korea sanctions after arms transfer probe
Briefly

Russia blocked the renewal of a panel of UN experts monitoring international sanctions on North Korea amid reports of arms transfers between Moscow and Pyongyang.
United States accused Russia of a 'self-interested effort to bury the panel's reporting on its own collusion' with North Korea, undermining international peace.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister described Russia's veto as 'a guilty plea,' implying collusion between Pyongyang and Moscow in Ukraine's conflict.
Moscow's veto does not lift the sanctions on North Korea but ends the monitoring group, which faces alleged violations. North Korea has been under sanctions since 2006.
