The Ukrainian government on Wednesday decided to denounce the agreement on cooperation in the field of technical protection of information with the Russian government.

"We denounce it. There could not be objections here," Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said.

The agreement was signed on June 14, 1996 in Kyiv for five years. The agreement was automatically prolonged for the new five-year periods if no side notifies on the plans to terminate the agreement six months before the expiration of the current period.

According to the document, technical protection of information is a set of measures aimed at preventing leak of data via technical channels, unauthorized access to this data and hacker attacks.
