Ukraine’s Ambassador to Japan Ihor Kharchenko has denied a recent claim that a state-owned plant in his country leaked rocket-engine technology possibly used by North Korea to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles, The Japan Times has reported.
“From 1991, I don’t think we ever had any type of connections with North Korea. We never had an embassy there. I don’t know about any type of, any single type of cooperation with North Korea,” Kharchenko said Friday in an interview.
