Team to Ukraine to probe arms deal

Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera and Ukrainian Ambassador Oleksandr Shevchenko had discussed the possibility of sending a team to Ukraine next month to inquire into allegations levelled against former Ambassador Udayanga Weeratunaga.

The Ukrainian Government had earlier accused the then Russian Ambassador Weeratunaga of having supplied weapons to rebels in Ukraine.  

Minister Samaraweera met the Ukranian Ambassador on Tuesday at the Foreign Ministry in Colombo. (LSP)
