The president of Ukraine said Wednesday that his country wants to continue cooperating on nuclear nonproliferation with the United States and build on its past achievements, RIA Novosti reported.
Viktor Yanukovych said at a meeting with US Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman in Kiev that combined efforts in preventing the spread of nuclear weapons underscored the two nations' reliable relationship.
"We are ready to continue fruitful cooperation in nuclear security and nonproliferation issues," Yanukovych said.
The United States has been actively engaged in seeking to mitigate the potential threat of poorly secured nuclear facilities and weapons stockpiles across the former Soviet Union since the early 1990s.
