1. (C) We relayed ref A points September 27 to MFA Arms
Control and Military Technical Cooperation Department
Counselor Oleh Belokolos. Belokolos, who was at the Oslo
meeting, said he would have the U.S. UAV/cruise missile
proposal translated as soon as possible, distribute it to the
relevant Ukrainian officials, and gather their input. The
issue, however, had policy implications that would require an
inter-agency Commission on Arms Control and Military
Technical Cooperation to review it. Unfortunately, the
Commission, which meets monthly and is chaired by a deputy
prime minister, had already met in September. Due to the
uncertain political climate, he was not sure when the
Commission would meet next, so the Ukrainian delegation might
not have an official position by the next MTCR Technical
Experts Meeting, beginning November 1 in Athens. (Note:
Ukraine will have parliamentary elections September 30, after
which the political parties in parliament will negotiate to
form a majority coalition and select the next prime minister
and cabinet for the new government. We heard September 28,
however, that the Commission might be scheduled to meet
during the week of October 1, probably still too soon for
Belokolos to prepare our proposal for inclusion in the
agenda.)


2. (U) As we have done with previous papers provided in
telegrams on which Embassy Kyiv has been an information
addressee, we also provided Belokolos with the papers in refs
C-G that were prepared for the Information Exchange to be
held in conjunction with the November 5-9 MTCR Plenary in
Athens.
