Following North Korea’s declaration earlier this week that it now has nuclear capability to target the whole of the US, Russia’s Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev has confirmed Russia is considering its options.
Mr Patrushev admitted that Pyongyang’s actions had put Russia at risk due to the potential of an outbreak of war.
He said: “If there is military action – and you know some countries do not rule it out – this would create all sorts of problems, including for us.”
Donald Trump continually said he would use military intervention in North Korea if the US or any of its allies were put at risk.
Addressing South Korea’s National Assembly in November Trump insisted that the US would “not be intimidated” by Kim Jong-un’s rhetoric and called for other countries to respond to the “twisted regimes” threats with a sign of military force.
He also warned the “three largest aircraft carriers in the world are appropriately positioned” to face Pyongyang.
He has also previously called diplomatic negotiations with the rogue state a “waste of time”.
Mr Patrushev also said that Russia was getting ready for a military standoff between its unruly neighbour and other states around the world.
He said: “We are assessing this and preparing ourselves. We will not be taken by surprise.”
He added: “We basically share a border with them. That’s why we are interested in a political and diplomatic solution.”
Tensions between North Korea and the US have risen in recent months as Mr Trump and his Korean counter-part have taken part in a war of words.
