Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko said Tuesday that his country does not illegally deliver arms to Georgia, Interfax reported.
Russian officials have repeatedly accused Ukraine of supplying arms to Georgia despite Moscow’s threats to cut military-technical cooperation with countries that arm Tbilisi after its 2008 war with Georgia.
Yushchenko, speaking at an air show in Dubai, said Ukraine respects international regulations in its arms exports. “If the Russian side had at least one claim on this matter, it would have been told to the world 100 times,” he said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
