Ukraine denies claims of alleged missile proliferation
Ukraine has denied accusations that it illegally sold X-55 (NATO AS-15 Kent) cruise missiles to Iran and China.
Russian defence minister Sergei Ivanov said earlier Friday that Ukrainian company Progress had supplied six missiles with nuclear capability to China and Iran respectively. He added that an internal investigation has started.
Ukraine's foreign ministry said that it has informed Russia in 2004 of the illegal sale and question the move.
