Ukrainian communists: no one can denounce the Black Sea Fleet agreements

Nobody will denounce the agreement prolonging presence of Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, reports ForUm citing Ukrainian MP Evgeny Tsarkov (communist party). 

"If this is possible, we'd denounce the Belavezha Accords signed by trilateral cahoot. If things are so easy, the president could denounce a number of political laws enacted by Kravchuk, Kuchma, and Yushchenko", explained the politician. 

According to Tsarkov, if Russian party would not obey its treaty commitments, it could be a ground to dissolve the agreement. "If next Ukrainian leaders want to denounce the Kharkov Treaty, it would be possible only on these grounds", he said.
