Joint Statement on behalf of the United States, France, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom.

Russia’s veto today jeopardizes international peace and security.  Instead of supporting actions to uphold the global nonproliferation regime, Russia has voted to make it easier for the DPRK to pursue nuclear weapons and their delivery systems, and emboldens the DPRK to continue its unlawful activity with a sense of impunity. China, through its abstention, sends a signal too.
