Moscow, August 5 (Interfax) - Ukraine will hopefully stop playing dangerous games with arms shipments to Georgia, complicating relations between Moscow and Kyiv, already tense, Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin said.

"We do hope that Ukraine, as a state near to us, will stop playing these dangerous games, creating problems in current relations, already problematical," Karasin told the media on Wednesday when asked whether Ukraine supplies arms to Georgia.

Verified reports available to the Russian side suggest Ukraine had been engaged in arms shipments ahead of the five-day war in the South Caucasus in August 2008.

"This information was partly confirmed by Ukrainian lawmakers after they probed into it," Karasin said.
