1. (C) We provided ref A report October 23 to MFA Arms
Control and Military Technical Cooperation Department
Director Volodymyr Belashov. At the same time, we provided
information copies of U.S. papers and positions contained
refs B-E (on space launch vehicles and ballistic missiles,
U.S. proposal on MTCR outreach, Iranian front companies,
end-use checks, and visas and intangible technologies).
Finally, we took the opportunity to underscore U.S.
willingness to hold a digital videoconference (DVC) to
discuss the U.S. MTCR proposal on unmanned aerial vehicles.


2. (U) Belashov thanked us for the information, noting that
it was timely in the run-up to the November 5-9 MTCR plenary
in Athens. He had requested that the Foreign Ministry
approve his participation in the Ukrainian delegation, which,
however, would be headed by State Service for Export Control
Director Yuriy Petrochenko. While the Cabinet of Ministers
must still approve the composition of the Ukrainian
delegation, Belashov noted that it would be the largest
Ukrainian delegation to date for an MTCR plenary session,
with representation, in addition to MFA, drawn from the
Presidential Secretariat, the National Security and Defense
Council (NSC equivalent) secretariat, Ministry of Defense,
National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU),state arms export
company Ukrspetsexport, and others. Belashov also welcomed
our offer of a DVC, saying he would consult further with NSAU
and other relevant Ukrainian government offices.
