MOSCOW - Russia said on Thursday that North Korea's disregard for UN restrictions was unacceptable and that its decision to pursue a nuclear program radically limited the chances of resuming stalled six-party nuclear talks.
Pyongyang formally rejected a UN Security Council resolution on March 9 that demanded an end to its nuclear arms program, signalling it would defy international sanctions and pursue its goal of becoming a full-fledged nuclear weapons power.
