UKRAINIAN DEFENSE MINISTER IN HUNGARY. Oleksander Kuzmuk told his
Hungarian counterpart, Gyorgy Keleti, on 9 March in Budapest that he
hopes Ukrainian-Hungarian military cooperation will lead to the
setting up of a joint peace-keeping force modeled on the
Polish-Ukrainian unit. He also told Keleti that one of the "basic
principles" of Ukrainian foreign policy is to join European
institutions. In response to a journalist's question, Kuzmuk said
Ukraine was the first country in the world to voluntarily renounce
nuclear weapons and is therefore entitled to demand that no nuclear
weapons be stationed on its neighbors' territory, Hungarian media
reported. MS
