TSKHINVALI, Ukraine, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The Ukrainian government contends it broke no laws in supplying weapons used by Georgia against Russian forces in South Ossetia last summer.
Andrei Goncharuk, deputy chief of the president's secretariat in Ukraine, said Ukrainian officials honored all international laws in selling weapons and ammunition to Georgia, Interfax reported Monday.
Russian officials have said the Ukrainian government bears moral responsibility for the deaths of civilians and Russian soldiers during the two-week military incursion in South Ossetia last August.
Members of Ukraine's Parliament are investigating the Russian charges and whether arms and ammunition given Georgia exceeded what was needed for defensive purposes, Kommersant reported Monday.
