Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Trump administration was willing to solve the North Korean crisis through diplomacy, while reiterating that more sanctions wouldn‘t prompt Kim Jong Un to give up his nuclear weapons.

„We see the administration‘s desire to defuse this situation,“ Putin said of the U.S. on Thursday at a forum in Vladivostok. He sat next to the leaders of two American allies, South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

„I‘m confident that things won‘t get to the point of a large-scale conflict, especially involving the use of weapons of mass destruction,“ Putin said. „All the conflicting sides have enough common sense and understanding of their responsibility to people, and we will be able to resolve this problem by diplomatic means.“
