Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin made it clear on Monday the Kiev government would not respond to proposals from Moscow to take back its defense technologies stranded in Crimea after the peninsula’s reunification with Russia. “We don’t have any dialogue with Russia on the issues regarding Crimea’s status”, he told reporters. “We won’t do anything that could weaken our legal or political position”. In addition, Klimkin said the Ukrainian authorities had not received any official invitations from Russia to come to Crimea and Moscow’s proposals looked like a trick.
