Політичне значення Харківських угод 2010 року для України

Abstract

The paper raises the issue of signing the Kharkiv Agreements of 2010, their political significance and consequences for the further development of Ukraine. It has been investigated that the agreement between Ukraine and the russian federation on the extension of the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s lease of the base in Sevastopol was a consequence of the occupation of the Crimean Peninsula and the start of the Ukrainian-Russian war in 2014. It was established that due to the signing of the Kharkiv Agreements, our state renounced its intention to join NATO, and Kyiv found itself under growing pressure from the Kremlin. It was determined that the signing of the Kharkiv Agreements can be called nothing else but a prerequisite for the military usurpation of Ukrainian territories by Russia.
