BEIJING, April 3 (Xinhuanet) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law terminating four treaties with Ukraine over the Russian Black Sea fleet stationed in Crimea.
Russia’s lower house of parliament approved on Monday a bill annulling the agreements, saying the fleet’s status would now be regulated by Russian laws, as the Sevastopol naval base is now Russian territory.
The bill was endorsed Tuesday by the Federal Council, the upper house of the Russian parliament. Ukraine’s Justice Minister said Tuesday that Kiev would not denounce the agreements.
