In a classic under-the-political radar ploy, Russia has vetoed a U.N. Committee investigating North Korean nuclear, missile and banking sanctions violations.

Russia voted against extending the mandate of a U.N. panel that monitors North Korean sanctions, prompting accusations that Moscow is helping the regime evade Security Council resolutions in exchange for weapons.
