[kim jong un]KCNA/Reuters MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia is seriously worried by North Korea's declared readiness to use its nuclear weapons, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday. "This raises pretty serious concerns," Peskov told a teleconference with journalists. "We hope that all countries in the region will maintain restraint and a balanced attitude."
