1. (SBU) We delivered ref A points November 16 to the MFA's
Directorate for Arms Control and Military Technical
Cooperation, and followed up with ref B points on November 23
to Viktor Shkuro in the MFA's Department of Economic
Cooperation. Shkuro explained that several MFA departments,
as well as the Ministry of Energy, have a role in this issue,
although his department has the coordinating function. He
added that Russia has also requested Ukrainian support for
the Angarsk project.

2. (SBU) Shkuro informed us on November 24 that the MFA is
preparing instructions for the Ukrainian mission in Vienna to
co-sponsor the draft resolution on Angarsk.
