Ukraine: U.S. Team Monitors Missile Silo Deactivation A delegation of U.S. experts has arrived in Ukraine to inspect a SS-24 missile silo and command post and ensure that the facilities no longer serve a military purpose, said Ukrainian Defense Ministry official Col. Volodymyr Shapovalov, according to an ITAR-Tass report on Monday. The silo has been converted into a museum. Remaining Ukrainian ICBMs were moved to a plant in Pavlohrad in the Dnipropetrovsk region of central Ukraine for scrapping in October and November. The last Ukrainian SS-24 missile silo (see GSN, Oct. 23) was dismantled on Oct. 30 (ITAR-Tass, Dec. 3 in FBIS-SOV, Dec. 4). Russia dismantled the last Ukrainian nuclear warhead in October 2001 (see GSN, Nov. 14).
