Ukraine seeks parts for promising aerospace equipment in U.S. from 2017 – SSAU chief

Ukraine hopes to have a breakthrough in its dialog with the United States and purchase parts for promising aerospace equipment. U.S. Honeywell in 2017 could start shipping military components to Ukraine's aerospace sector, Head of the State Space Agency of Ukraine (SSAU) Liubomyr Sabadosh has said.

Commenting on the results of his working visit to the United States held on May 23 through May 27, he said at a press conference on Monday in Kyiv that talks about U.S. assistance to compensate for the stoppage of cooperation with Russia in military space programs was launched by Ukraine and the United States in 2015.

Sabadosh said that during the talks with Honeywell as part of this visit, the purchase of parts for promising Ukrainian aerospace equipment by Ukraine was discussed.

"Honeywell has an opportunity of shipping components for space device manufacture," he said.

"Today we agreed to draft documents about military components we want to buy in the Untied States, replete with explanations about what products would be made, how they will be used and for what purposes," he said.

Ukraine stopped exporting military equipment to Russia in 2014.
