Four factors are in force pandemic joints to initiate an illicit dual use technologies transfer from Ukraine

An objective of this effort is a quick recap to assess the underpin barriers of transfer of technologies appeared in Ukraine after acquiring the Independence and those developed of today and to highlight and evaluate an impact of political, historical, mental and other factors affecting the science...
