Russia Says Concerned Over Possible Leaks of Ballistic Missile Technology by Kiev
2014-04-08
[RIA/Novosti] Ukraine must adhere to its international obligations on non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and prevent the sale of ballistic missile technologies to third countries, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Monday.
It's different when Russia does it...
The ministry cited a number of media reports alleging that the Yuzhmash company, based in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk, is holding talks with foreign clients on the sales of technologies involved in production of RS-20 Voyevoda ballistic missiles.

"Ukraine, being a member of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) partnership and a signatory to the Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCoC), bears serious political obligations," the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry urged the new Kiev authorities to be extremely cautious in its decisions to trade technologies related to ballistic missiles with payloads exceeding 500 kilograms and firing ranges of over 300 kilometers (over 180 miles).
