Blinken said the United States is committed to a diplomatic approach towards the DPRK

“The United States remains committed to seeking diplomacy with the DPRK and encourages the DPRK to engage in dialogue.

At the same time, we will continue to fight the illegal activities of the DPRK in cyberspace, as well as violations of UN Security Council resolutions, ”TASS quoted him as saying.

The corresponding statement was prepared in connection with the introduction of US sanctions against the Blender.io service for anonymous transactions with cryptocurrency, which, according to Washington, was used by Pyongyang.

Earlier, US Permanent Representative to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said that the United States will seek progress in May on a resolution on the DPRK, which provides for tougher sanctions against Pyongyang due to missile tests.
