Ukraine counts on the support by the UN Security Council’s permanent members of its proposal to enhance security guarantees for non-nuclear states.
The Ukrainian president said this at the 64th UN General Assembly’s annual debate in New York on September 23.
“Ukraine counts on the support by the Security Council’s permanent
members of our proposal to enhance security guarantees for countries
with non-nuclear status, especially those who abandoned nuclear weapons
or their development,” Yuschenko said.
He also welcomed the steps made by the United States and Russia
towards a new strategic agreement to replace the Treaty between the
USSR and the U.S. on the strategic arms reduction dated 31 July 1991,
which expires this year.
