Moscow has called for the resumption of talks between both South and North Korea in the hopes of easing tensions between them.
“North Korea and South Korea should start talks to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula,” Russia's deputy foreign minister, Aleksey Borodavkin, said Thursday.
Acute tension between North and South Korea remain. And there is no sign of improvement – Seoul has officially labeled Pyongyang as an enemy.
The situation on the Korean Peninsula worsened after an exchange of artillery fire on November 23 between South Korea and North Korea, which killed four people on a South Korean island near the border. Since then, tension has increased palpably. Seoul has staged several military exercises and is expected to hold its latest maritime firing drill from Monday to Friday.

@Mellow: north Korean ship also attacked by South Korea few months before attack on south Korean ship. not that much coverage about that. about ten soldiers died. Also north Korea denied the attack on south Korean ship. It's very probable that some outside hands fabricated the whole thing, specially when UN take the responsibility to investigate and put pressure on North Korea. Also they don't starve their people, sanctions does that. just because they want to run their country independently. China had the same situation in 70s and 80s they resisted and now they are strong and independent. Having big screen TV does not make the life better necessarily, But feeling the independence does. they just don't want to surrender by will, how bad it can be?
Well this is a bit of a joke. S Korea and ship is bombed, twice by nasty mouth N Korea who starves its people and Moscow says nothing! S Korea says no more and Moscow pipes up flex dialogue! Not too bright but we know with the anti-American status quo of the dark ages, it was bound to flush out a warning but it is rather a pitiful joke! Anyone bomb Russia and you would have a right to toot more than your mouth but hey S Korea has the same problem Israel has. Bullies and Aggressors like N Korea and Islamist are bound to get only a cluck!
Why cant we all get along?
