Kyiv insists on probe by UN into development of DPRK's missile potential– Yelchenko
Representative of Ukraine in the United Nations, Volodymyr Yelchenko, has said that Ukraine is committed to an investigation into the development of the missile capability of the North Korea, Radio Liberty (Svoboda) has reported.
"We will act in the context of the new resolution to make the UN Security Council initiate a new investigation aimed to determine why the country of North Korea was able to develop its nuclear and missile potential to such a level," it quoted Yelchenko's statement on Monday evening.
Yelchenko said that the UN Security Council has no official claims to Kyiv, nor is the article of The New York Times on the probable connection of the DPRK's success in the test of intercontinental ballistic missiles and Ukraine discussed.
"We discussed this issue with our colleagues in the Security Council [UN]. They believe that this is a constant factoid - no one has made official accusations against Ukraine - everyone proceeds from the fact that this has not been confirmed," he said.
