Chernomyrdin: Black Sea fleet will be withdrawn in time
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary ambassador of Russia to Ukraine Viktor Chernomyrdin considers it untimely to hold consultations concerning the RF Black Sea fleet withdrawal from the territory of Ukraine.

“Is it time to speak about this? Year 2017 is determined by the agreement. In 2017 the fleet will be withdrawn, why beforehand…?” the ambassador said. “Do you want consultations? There are people there, officers live there, they have families, children, why do you do this?” Chernomyrdin added.

The ambassador added that there is the agreement and nobody disputed it – neither Russia, nor leadership of Ukraine.
