The Ukrainian defense and aerospace complexes did not supply weapons and military technology to North Korea, and false information disseminated by some foreign media about the alleged transfer of missile technology by Yuzhmash to the DPRK is most likely triggered by Russian special services, NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov has said.
“This information doesn’t have a leg to stand on, is provocative in its content, and most likely provoked by Russian special services to cover their own crimes,” the press service of the NSDC quoted Turchynov as saying on August 14.
“Ukraine has never supplied rocket engines and any missile technology to North Korea. And we believe that this anti-Ukrainian campaign was provoked by Russian special services to cover their participation in North Korean nuclear and missile programs,” the National Security and Defense Council Secretary said.
