Ukraine Missiles and MTCR

Scott Gearity has a much-appreciated mention of an Arms Control Today article I wrote about Ukraine’s Kh-55 missile exports.

I do, however, wish to correct one small inaccuracy in his description of the piece.

Scott writes:

Ukraine has now admitted violating its commitments under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) by exporting KH-55 air-launched cruise missiles to China and Iran…

I wrote that Ukraine admitted the transfers, which

… are apparently contrary to Ukraine’s commitments under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). Since 1998, Ukraine has been a member of the 34-member MTCR…

As of that article, I had not seen anything indicating that Ukraine has admitted violating the MTCR. The United States has not taken a position on the matter, as far as I know.
