The diplomat also commented on recent events related to North Korea (in particular, the DPRK missile launches).
According to Maria Zakharova, the Russian side is really closely monitoring the development of the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

Russia advocates an early resumption of the political and diplomatic process aimed at forming such a mechanism on the basis of the principles of equality, phasing and synchronicity.
When asked who will replace Igor Morgulov as deputy minister, Maria Zakharova replied the following: "You know, we do not comment on such personnel appointments... But, when they are completed, you will definitely know about it. "
