The Persian Journal reports that Russia's General Staff has no information on Ukraine's nuclear supplies to Iran, the head of the General Staff said Monday.Army General Yuri Baluyevsky was quoted by RIA-Novosti news agency as saying he had no information on 250 nuclear warheads Ukraine had allegedly passed to Iran.
"I do not comment on such reports, which have no foundation," he said.
Novaya Gazeta newspaper wrote Monday that Ukraine had failed to return 250 warheads to Russia in the 1990s when the former Soviet republic declared itself a nuclear-free zone. The paper suggested the warheads could have been sold to a third country, including Iran.
Some former military officials have dismissed this as "nonsense"
