KIEV, Aug. 11 – The completion of research and design work for the Ukrainian-Russian An-70 medium transport aircraft program could be postponed due to the absence of financing from Ukraine, President and Chief Designer of Antonov state enterprise, Dmytro Kiva, said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
