Cabinet denounces 2005 agreement with Russia on mutual supplies of arms, military equipment, components and services

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has severed the intergovernmental agreement with Russia dated February 8, 2005, regulating the procedure for mutual supplies of arms and military equipment, military components and services.

The corresponding draft resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers on the termination of the agreement between the government of Ukraine and the government of the Russian Federation on the procedure for the mutual supply of arms and military equipment, components and spare parts, organization of repairs and the provision of military services was approved at a government meeting on Wednesday without discussion.

It was reported earlier that Ukraine stopped exporting military and dual-purpose goods to Russia in 2014. A presidential decree enforcing a Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council decision and dated August 27, 2014 codified the ban on military-technical cooperation with Russia, including shipments of dual-purpose goods.

The Ukrainian government severed a 1993 intergovernmental agreement on military-technical cooperation with Russia in May 2015. In August of the same year, the government also terminated a 1993 intergovernmental agreement with Russia on industrial, scientific and technical cooperation between defense enterprises.

In August 2017, the Ukrainian government denounced a 2003 intergovernmental agreement with Russia regulating interaction between the parties in exporting military products to third countries, and in October 2017, it terminated a 2000 intergovernmental agreement with Russia on preserving the profile of enterprises and organizations which take part in the production of military goods.
