Assistant Secretary of State for
Arms Control, Verification and Compliance Frank Rose claimed that it would be
illegal on the part of Russia to deploy nuclear weapons in the occupied Crimea,
an UNIAN correspondent reported from NATO HQ in Brussels.
First, we condemn Russian illegal annexation of Crimea and we think it would be
inappropriate and illegal for them to deploy nuclear weapons in Crimea,” Rose
said while answering a question of the UNIAN correspondent.
Speaking about his upcoming visit to Ukraine, the U.S. official said
that he plans to discuss "a broad set of issues, for example modernization
of the U.S.-Ukraine nuclear risk reduction center as well as discussion on a
number of topics related to the convention arms control in Europe and space
security."
As UNIAN reported earlier, Frank Rose is set to visit Kyiv on January
18-20.
