Black Sea Fleet to make Ukraine alter laws

He pointed out that Ukrainian legislation and bilateral agreements do not provide any tools for re-armament of Russia's Black Sea Fleet (BSF).
According to the minister, neither agreement of 1996 nor Ukrainian laws mention possibility of BSF re-armament. "Those documents say nothing about re-armament. So, this is a subject of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia", said Yezhel.
Recall that the session of security subcommittee of Russian-Ukrainian intergovernmental commission will be held on March 25 in Kiev; agenda includes about 10 matters regarding military cooperation of Russia and Ukraine. In particular, the countries are about to sign a new agreement on BSF re-armament. According to actual documents, re-armament of Russian Black Sea Fleet is possible only by Ukraine's approbation.
