The State Department commented on the information about supplies of Ukrainian engines to the DPRK.

Washington took seriously the message about the supply of rocket engines from Ukraine to North Korea, reports RIA News Statement by State Department spokesman Heather Nauert.



Of course, we know about these messages. This is a question that we take very seriously, if such an event really happened,
said nuerth at the briefing.

We will remind, earlier The New York Times reported that Pyongyang could get engines for ballistic missiles made at the Ukrainian enterprise “Yuzhmash” through black market dealers. At the same time, the newspaper referred to the secret assessments of the US special services and a study conducted by the expert of the IISS think tank Michael Ellemann.

The authorities of Ukraine and the management of Yuzhmash deny involvement in the supply of engines to the DPRK. They suggested that "some country" could copy the engine and transfer it to Pyongyang. And one of the former employees of Yuzhnoye design bureau admitted that technical documentation for the engine fell into the hands of North Korean specialists.

The agency notes that in 2016 the concern Ukroboronprom increased the export of military equipment and weapons by 25% - from 570 to 770 million dollars.

      Nauert added that Washington intends to verify this information and take control of the issue.

        If the engines are Ukrainian, even if they take an example from EuroSimens, they will offer a buyback.

Something very timely and by the way, this information appears, right in time for the negotiations between Volker and Surkov ... "about the mournful Kiev affairs."

                You see, dear, the Pentagon’s affairs with NATO and the White House’s affairs have been "a little" before, and with the advent of Trump, the White House can be said to be under siege. Some lobbies are associated with military corporations, while others have industrial and financial ones. If the Pentagon or NATO are implementing their plan, then it is not a fact that the database will 100% follow along the same lines. The CIA is generally a state in a state. We don’t know what Trump and GDP talked about for 2,5 hours, but after that a new “looker” for urkaine was appointed, who visited Kyiv, Berlin, Paris in a short time and now goes on to “crackle” with Surkov in Minsk. Something tells you that the Pentagon is probably not aware of what Volker drags to negotiations.

          Today, prankers Vovan and Lexus got through to the main span from Yuzhmash under the guise of Turchinov. So, the headman on the air combed about the fact that they have a relationship with Korea and China, but in what is substantive, they don’t know, for this is a great mystery that is under the jurisdiction of the SBU and the Foreign Intelligence Service. The conversation has already been thrown off to the masses for the needs of the world listener))) Mattresses are now probably half-witted from the SBU and the Foreign Intelligence Service in an electric chair, they are treating us to tea and talking to them about the product range supplied to the Koreans.

    This expert (Eleman) has only continuous errors in forecasts and estimates. The DPRK ICBM he foresaw after 2020 and now eats will justify his mistake.

It is clear that now gentlemen from the United States are dragging their slaves by the hair.
