Russia's embassy to the DPRK on Tuesday rejected claims made in a recent report by the United Nations Panel of Experts (PoE) concerning a shipment of 90,000 bottles of vodka said to be bound for North Korea.
The statement, carried on the embassy's Facebook page, comes in response to a section in the PoE's mid-term sanctions report, released last week.
