KIEV, June 15 – The BYT-Batkivschyna faction in the Ukrainian parliament has demanded that an agreement between Ukraine and Russia on the stationing of the Russian Black Sea Fleet on Ukrainian territory (the so-called Kharkiv agreements) be cancelled.

"The Kharkiv agreements signed at a villa of [Russian President Dmitry] Medvedev not only limited Ukraine's sovereignty, but also strengthened Russia's influence in Ukraine," the Batkivschyna Party's press service quoted the faction's deputy head, MP Olena Shustik, as saying on Wednesday.
