Ukraine not to send any more weapons shipments to Georgia

UkrainKiev- Ukraine will for the foreseeable future not deliver any more weapons shipments to Georgia, engaged in hostilities with Russia over the breakaway region of South Ossetia, Interfax news agency reported Monday.

"In this phase we will examine the possibility of giving political and humanitarian help to Tbilisi," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Konstantin Yeliseyev said in Kiev.

He justified earlier arms shipments to Georgia from Ukraine as not violating any international norms.
