Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has ordered to invite the authors of the New York Times article about missile engine deliveries from Ukraine to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
“I ordered to invite the authors of the article to visit Ukraine to meet with Ukrainian partners who have unfairly fallen under baseless suspicions. This would be the right step on the part of the respectable publication that treats the trust of its readership responsibly,” Poroshenko wrote on Facebook on August 16.
The article has attracted global attention to the potential of Ukraine’s rocket-space complex, he said. “An elegant, though not the most optimal way,” Poroshenko said.
“We don’t transfer missile technologies, and we comply with and support the international nonproliferation regime responsibly,” the president said.
Earlier on August 16 Poroshenko ordered an inquiry into the information published in The New York Times regarding missile engine deliveries from Ukraine to the DPRK.
