(AGENPARL) – MOSCOW mar 13 giugno 2023
The President signed Federal
Law On the Denunciation of the Treaty between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on Cooperation in the Use of the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait.
The Federal Law denounces the Treaty
between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on Cooperation in the Use of the Sea
of Azov and the Kerch Strait, signed in the city of Kerch on December 24, 2003,
and ratified by the Russian Federation on April 22, 2004.
An entirely new situation has taken shape
around the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait following the accession of the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Zaporozhye Region and the Kherson Region to the Russian Federation. From now on, their coasts belong to the Russian Federation
alone.
Now that Ukraine has lost its status
as a littoral state with respect to these bodies of water, it is necessary to terminate the Treaty between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on Cooperation
in the Use of the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait.
On February 24, 2023, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine
passed the Law On the Denunciation of the Treaty between the Russian Federation
and Ukraine on Cooperation in the Use of the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait.
On March 25, 2023, the law entered into force following its signing and official publication.
