WHAT HAPPENED

Russia used its veto to end a UN panel that monitored sanctions on North Korea. South Korea and Japan also condemned growing Russia-North Korea military ties during a UN debate on Ukraine.

SO WHAT?

The loss of formal sanctions monitoring may weaken enforcement against North Korea and deepen security cooperation involving Russia.
