The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is making a decision on the termination of the agreement on military-technical cooperation between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk stated this at a Government’s meeting on Wednesday, May 20.

He recalled that the agreement was signed on 26 May, 1993.

"The Russian Federation is an aggressor state. The Russian Federation illegally annexed Crimea, perpetrated military aggression to the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The Russian Federation poses a threat to the Ukrainian state and its territorial integrity. Therefore, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine severs the agreement on military-technical cooperation with Russia," Arseniy Yatsenyuk highlighted.
