Kyiv, September 17 (Interfax-Ukraine) -
The Ukrainian presidential administration
has denied reports that Ukraine shipped
arms to Cuba and Venezuela.
Vasyl Baziv, deputy head of the presidential
administration, made this statement commenting
on an article in the British Jane's Intelligence
saying Ukraine sold weapons to the two Latin
American countries in 2003-2004.
Baziv described the information as a "brutal
form of competition" on the international
arms market. He noted that allegations about
Ukraine's supplying the Kolchuga anti-radar
system to Iraq, which were never proved,
had yet to be withdrawn.
