Ukrainian National Guard First Deputy Commander Oleksandr Kryvenko and a United States delegation met in Kyiv to discuss global nuclear security.

Kryvenko's working meeting with Jonathan Epstein of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee and James Finch, the U.S. Defense Department's Principal Director for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction, took place at the National Guard's Main Directorate as part of Ukraine's global nuclear security program, the National Guard spokesperson said on Monday.

"The meeting focused on implementation of a joint project to integrate Ukraine's physical nuclear security system into the global physical nuclear security structure, and other areas of cooperation," the statement said.
