Moscow is prepared to work with Pyongyang to try to find a peaceful resolution to the North Korean missile crisis, the Russian Foreign ministry said on Friday.
Russian and North Korean foreign ministry representatives met in Moscow today, and Kremlin said it had sent a clear message to Pyongyang that it was ready to step in to mediate.

WNU Editor: The Russians demanded this meeting .... and it lasted for 5 hours. My gut is telling me that Moscow wants to hear from the North Koreans themselves on what is their end game .... specifically .... what is it that North Korea wants. But considering that there was no news conference, joint statement issued, or praise from the Russian officials on the success of the meeting .... all of this tells me that the meeting did not go as well as planned, and this "Russian" desire to mediate between all sides was just for show.

I imagine the representatives from NK were in no position to agree to anything so if Russia thought they would get a deal cut as a result it was a fanciful dream. Perhaps when they go back to NK with the details some movement might begin.
Any idea that Russia is in a position to mediate between North Korea and the USA belongs to a special category of speculative fiction devoted to failed causes.
