Ukraine: International Cooperation

The Ukrainian Government has engaged in numerous bilateral and multilateral activities, primarily with Poland, Russia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Moldova, the United States, as well as the Commonwealth of Independent States, regarding the international control of trans-border crime, including control over arms trafficking and smuggling. (213)

Ukraine is a member of most international arms and export control regimes. Ukrainian officials also believe international cooperation to be an important aspect of SALW control, and that international standards are of key significance. (214)

In the words of one of the officials, "Ukraine will never violate international rules and regulations" and "Ukraine takes seriously all of its international commitments with regard to non-proliferation". (215)
