Moscow is considering an appropriate response to fresh US sanctions against Russian companies over alleged links to North Korea’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs, said Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov. “We will determine our answer based on the need not to drive our relations completely to a dead-end and to work on the prospect of improving them,” Ryabkov said, as cited by RIA Novosti. The new sanctions are yet another stumbling block on the way to restoring mutually beneficial relations between Moscow and Washington, he added.

-- this tweet is supposed to recap this http://www.ibtimes.com/north-korea-...-irbm-engine-likely-ukraine-or-russia-2546800

"It's highly unlikely that it was indigenously designed, developed and produced. My working hypothesis at this point, given the performance of the engine, its appearance, it likely is derived from an old Russian engine called the RD-250."
The expert also said that the missile engine could have been sourced from Ukraine.

"could have been sourced" vs "likely came", "from Ukraine" vs "either Russia or Ukraine" -- same same, isn't it?
