NATO wants Ukraine radar station control of Russia - expert
23.06.2006, 10.54
KIEV, June 23 (Itar-Tass) - NATO urges Ukraine to set up three radar
complexes for control of Russia?s air space.
Brussels ?is ready to finance this project for creating a common radar
field for controlling the air traffic?, the Ukrainian newspaper Delo said
on Friday, citing a military expert, Colonel Alexander Manachinsky.
He said that ?representatives of NATO ask to install the radar stations in
one of regions in eastern Ukraine and near Kiev and Borispol. For this
reason a real goal of the alliance can be judged ? controlling the air
space of Russia,? Manachinsky said.
If the radar stations are deployed, they will be able to monitor a major
part of Russia?s territory.
Manachinsky asserted that such complexes had been set up in the Baltic
republics and Poland.
The director of the NATO Information and Documentation Centre in Ukraine,
Michel Duray, said that NATO would spend about 10 million euros in Ukraine
in 2006.
Of these funds, 5.8 million euros are slated for the scrapping of
munitions, 700,000 euros for the ?social retraining of military
servicemen? and 800,000 euros for the retraining of personnel of the
Defense Ministry and the Security Service.
A representative of the Ukrainian Centre of Army Studies, Conversion and
Disarmament, Mikhail Samus, said that work was going on at the Kharkov
Institute of Monocrystals to create ?transparent armour?. The institute
refuses to call costs of the secret project.

 US reservists begin leaving Ukraine after anti-NATO protests
Sun Jun 11, 2:34 PM ET
About 200 US reservists began leaving Crimea to cheers of "Hurrah!"
from anti-NATO protesters who succeeded in blocking preparations for
military exercises in southern Ukraine.
A first batch of 125 soldiers flew out from Simferopol to the United
States' Ramstein Air Base in Germany, with the rest due to leave
Monday, Crimean police told AFP.
The reservists had been planning to build barracks on a training ground
near the port town of Feodosia, but the work barely got started due to
some two weeks of protests from locals in the strategic and strongly
pro-Russian region of Ukraine.
Ukrainian navy spokesman Volodymyr Bova insisted the departure took
place because the "reservists' contracts had expired" as they are only
called up for duty "for two or three weeks".
Washington however was "chagrined" by the fact that the reservists
"could not complete their projects, which would have been useful for
the Ukrainian military," the US embassy spokesman in Ukraine, Brent
Byers, said.
Protestors ensured a noisy send-off for the soldiers taken by bus from
Feodosia to the airport in Simferopol.
"Yankee, don't bother to bring your weapons to our home!" shouted one
protester, as a crowd sang patriotic Russian songs.
Ukraine maintained that the troop withdrawal, taking place about two
days earlier than planned, did not mean the cancellation of NATO
military manoeuvres in Crimea set to start on June 17, Bova said.
"The holding of the exercises Sea Breeze 2006 will be decided by
parliament," which will consider the matter on June 14, Bova said.
Sea Breeze 2006 was designed to strengthen ties between the pro-Western
government in Kiev and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Washington added that the withdrawal of the reservists "will in no way
influence our willingness to ultimately cooperate with Ukraine," Byers
said.
However opposition to NATO is strong in the Crimean peninsula, an
autonomous region within Ukraine, which has pro-Russia leanings as it
has been the home base of the Russian Black Sea fleet since its
creation by Catherine the Great in the late 18th century.
Crimea was transferred to Ukraine in 1954 by then Soviet leader Nikita
Khrushchev but remains populated largely by ethnic-Russians.
Besides local protests in Crimea, the planned exercises also triggered
reaction from Moscow, which warned the United States and NATO not to
push too hard to bring Ukraine into the fold.
Ukrainian authorities say that Russians have taken part in the
protests, in violation of Ukrainian law. A leading Ukrainian weekly has
said that the demonstrations have been masterminded by the Russian
special security services, the FSB, formerly KGB.
On Thursday, up to 2,000 anti-NATO demonstrators protested outside the
lodgings in Feodosia of the US reservists.
While preparations for the Ukrainian-US maneuvers were continuing, they
would be held "only after adoption of a law" authorizing these and
other international military exercises planned to be held by the end of
the year, Ukrainian Defense Minister Anatoly Gritsenko said this week.
On Wednesday, Russia issued a sharp warning to the United States and
ex-Soviet republics looking to join the NATO alliance, saying expansion
of the bloc into lands the Kremlin considers its backyard would have a
"colossal" and negative impact.
The lower house of the Russian parliament, the Duma, also
overwhelmingly approved a "message" to the parliament of Ukraine
expressing the "serious concern" at Kiev's goal of joining NATO and
saying this would violate treaty agreements between the two countries.
The contentious atmosphere in Ukraine has led to the postponement of
another joint military exercise between Ukraine and Britain.
The Ukrainian defense ministry said Thursday "in the current situation"
Kiev and London had decided "unfortunately" to postpone manoeuvres
which were scheduled to start June 12. No new date has been set.
