Relations between Moscow and Kiev deteriorated significantly since the outbreak of the Ukrainian conflict. Kiev and the West blame Moscow for fueling Ukraine’s internal conflict, while Moscow has firmly denied the allegations.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry notified the Russian government about the termination of the agreement, in accordance with an established procedure.

In May 2015, Ukraine suspended a military cooperation agreement with Russia, that had been in place since 1993. Following a breakdown in mutual business ties, Ukraine also halted its supply of Russian components used in the production of military equipment.
