Ukraine has agreed to take part in a missile defence system designed by the United States to protect Western countries. The government in Kiev defended its decision for military co-operation with the West, saying Russia cancelled a bilateral treaty with Ukraine earlier this year.
A few days ago, Poland and the United States reached agreement on the siting of missiles on Polish territory. These, together with radar installations in the Czech republic, make up the missile shield. Russia is fiercely opposed to the defence system and has threatened retaliatory measures.
The Ukrainian offer to co-operate with the US on the shield comes as the situation surrounding Russia's military operations in Georgia is increasingly tense. Ukraine's pro-Western President Viktor Yushchenko has strongly criticised Russia and is threatening to impose restrictions on Russian navy vessels' use of the port of Sebastopol in Ukraine.

Ukrainian People's Party held picket near Russian Embassy in Kyiv. Representatives of the party demanded to withdraw Russian troops from Georgia, stop supporting separatists and using ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet that are based in Sevastopol in military actions in the conflict zone.
A respective statement was handed over to the embassy's worker. "We are viewing the actions of Russian authorities in Georgia as an aggression against a sovereign state jeopardizing peace and stability not only in the Caucasian region, but also in the entire Europe," MP Ivan Zayets said. The embassy's envoy, Vsevolod Loskutov, in turn, described the picket as an offense given to Russia. "We are protecting South Ossetia, Russian citizens and Russian peacekeepers," he stated, adding that around 2,000 Russian citizens have been killed in South Ossetia. He accused the Georgian president of this. Participants in the picket then headed to the Georgian Embassy in Ukraine to express their support and solidarity. Similar pickets of Russian consulates in Ukraine also took place in Lviv and Odesa.

Ukrainian special presidential envoy to Georgia Kostyantyn Yeliseyev has reaffirmed Kyiv's willingness to provide diplomatic assistance to have the armed hostilities in the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict zone stopped and make Tbilisi and Tskhinvali engage in direct talks.
Yeliseyev made this statement while meeting with Georgian National Security Council Secretary Alexander Lomaya in Tbilisi, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reported on Saturday.
Yeliseyev and Lomaya discussed the military-political and humanitarian situation in the region.
Lomaya said Yeliseyev was the first foreign high-ranking official to come to Georgia after the beginning of military actions in South Ossetia, which displays "the Ukrainian president's active foreign political position and Ukraine's desire to promptly respond to challenges to security in the region."
