Ukraine considers statements on withdrawal from Non-Proliferation Treaty speculations

KIEV, March 21. /ITAR-TASS/. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry considers statements on the country’s withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) speculations.

At the same time, the diplomat said, “Ukraine is committed to its international obligations.”

In the meantime, a draft law on denunciation of the NPT has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada.
