Ukraine responds to 'Iraqi sales' claim
2002-09-27
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Anatoly Zlenko is to hold urgent talks in the United Nations, following allegations that Kiev approved the sale of advanced radar systems to Iraq. Foreign Ministry spokesman Serhiy Borodenkov said Mr Zlenko had broken off a trip to the Dominican Republic to meet UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in New York. He is also expected to meet the Chairman of the UN Security Council's Iraqi sanctions committee, Ole Peter Kolby. The visits comes after Nato Secretary-General George Robertson said "very serious questions" needed to be answered about evidence emerging of the alleged deal. Earlier, the United States announced it was suspending more than $50m in aid to Ukraine and launching a policy review of its relations with the country.

#1  The UN runs the Iraq food for oil program. As pointed out in the WSJ this week, the Uke sale would of had to be run through the UN offices. I guess they would be a touch excited/embarassed.
