Government approves denunciation of agreement on joint control on Ukrainian-Russian border

According to Ukrinform, the government's permanent representative in the Verkhovna Rada, Taras Melnychuk, said this in a Telegram post.

"The draft law 'On the termination of the agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Government of the Russian Federation on cooperation during the joint control of persons, vehicles and goods on the Ukrainian-Russian state border' has been approved," he wrote.

The bill proposes terminating the agreement with Russia dated October 18, 2011 in connection with a fundamental change in circumstances caused by Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.

On February 28, the Cabinet of Ministers terminated the agreement with the Russian government on cooperation and interaction in the field of construction of checkpoints across the Ukrainian-Russian border.
