Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Thursday called Ukrainian arms deliveries to Georgia a "crime" in comments after meeting his Ukrainian counterpart.

"A more serious crime than arms deliveries in a conflict zone cannot be imagined," Putin said.

"Several years ago, we could not have imagined Russians and Ukrainians making war against each other, but that has happened and it's a crime."

Putin had earlier hit out at Ukraine for delivering weapons used by Georgia to fight Russia during a brief conflict in August.
