Russia reportedly has expressed opposition to the draft joint statement of G-8 leaders pointing fingers at North Korea for the Cheonan's sinking, claiming a lack of concrete evidence. What- do they dispute it's DPRK provenance? They practically have Kim Jong-Il's signature on the recovered remains. There isn't any question of who did it at this point.
This must be one of those diplomatic maneuvering situations where outrageous things are being said in public, and other things are going on outside of the public eye. Foreign relations are often a venue where taking things that are said at face value puts one at a serious disadvantage.
