Putin Urges Ukraine To Join New Russian Space Center Project

15 April 2011

Ukraine should participate in the construction of the Vostochny Space Center in Russia’s Far East, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said in Kiev. Russia currently uses two launch sites: Baikonur in Kazakhstan, which it has leased since the end of the Soviet Union, and Plesetsk in northwest Russia. Putin said construction work at the new space centre had already started.
