MOSCOW, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Russia will send its experts to Republic of Korea (ROK) to familiarize itself from the first hands with the results of investigation of the sinking of a South Korean ship, the RIA Novosti reported on Wednesday.

It was a decision of President Dmitry Medvedev to despatch the experts, the agency reported.

Earlier on Wednesday Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman confirmed that Moscow was not planning to discuss the situation at the UN Security Council until it possesses "100 percent correct evidence that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has anything to do with the ship's sinking."

"We should make the conclusions by ourselves, so everything will depend on the evidence," the diplomat said.

The sinking of the South Korean warship, allegedly torpedoed by a DPRK submarine in the Yellow Sea has sparked further tension on the Korean peninsula.
