Foreign Affairs Minister Volodymyr Ohryzko has said that the bill on withdrawal of Russian Black Sea fleet from Crimea after 2017 had already been completed.
The minister told the press.
"The bill has already been drafted and will be submitted by the time scheduled in the presidential decree," he said.
Ohryzko said that his ministry has fulfilled its work over drafting the bill and now the Verkhovna Rada is responsible for its consideration and endorsement.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Russia considers that deployment of its Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol delivers security and sovereignty of Ukraine.
Ukraine sees no opportunity to leave Russian fleet in Crimea after May 28, 2017.
On June 18, Russia's permanent representative in NATO Dmitriy Rogozin said that Russia does not intend to withdraw its Black Sea fleet from Crimea.
On May 20, President Viktor Yuschenko urged the Cabinet of Ministers to draft by July 20 the bill on cancellation of force of international agreements on temporary deployment of Russian Black Sea fleet on the territory of Ukraine from 2017.
