(16,974 posts)The Budapest agreement signed by both Ukraine and Russia states that Ukraine's borders would be recognized to include Crimea as part of Ukraine. Russia broke it!
Basing rights in Crimea. Russia rented basing rights from Ukraine and by that agreement they were allowed a certain number. They were not allowed to leave the bases without Ukrainian approval in advance. Russia broke that also!
Russia blockaded the Ukrainian navy in Crimea and seized the ships breaking international law in doing so.
And last please be honest, why would Russia have to pay rent to another sovereign nation if they were on Russian territory. By the way not one nation recognized that as Russia as it has been part of Ukraine since the 50's
Get real, how can you even spout that inane crap
