1. (SBU) Embassy delivered reftel points jointly with
Russian and Dutch troika counterparts to Oleh Klynchenko at
Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) on April 23.
Klynchenko, who heads the MFA's Political Planning Division,
said that Ukraine would send at least two, and possibly up to
four, representatives to the Hague for the Global Initiative
to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT) Plenary June 16-17.
Klynchenko said that the GOU had not yet determined who would
represent Ukraine but that its delegation would include
representatives from the MFA and the Security Service of
Ukraine (SBU). After reviewing the draft agenda, Klynchenko
said that the GOU plans to speak at one or more of the
working group sessions.
2. (SBU) Klynchenko thanked the U.S. for providing financial
assistance via the Embassy's Customs Attache so that Ukraine
was able to send representatives to recent GICNT events in
Garmisch and Seoul. He affirmed that the GOU highly values
its participation in GICNT events and that it expects to have
enough funds to participate in GICNT events through 2009.
Klynchenko said that Ukraine would send up to four
participants from the SBU to the upcoming workshop in
Morocco.
3. (SBU) Klynchenko explained that a number of events in
the "spirit of GICNT" would take place in Ukraine in
2009-2010. The Ukrainian NGO "Scientific Research,
Information, and Analysis Center LEX" will host an event on
countering nuclear terrorism in September 2009 in Kyiv. He
also mentioned that the GUAM Organization for Democracy and
Economic Development, with the support of the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime, would hold a regional workshop on
countering terrorism this year. The GOU also is planning a
tactical exercise on countering terrorism in either 2009 or
2010 near Chernobyl.
