On January 26, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed Decree No. 82/2026, by which Ukraine terminates participation in the Agreement on the Protection of State Borders and Maritime Economic Zones of the CIS Member States.
This agreement was concluded on March 20, 1992 in Kyiv.
The decision to terminate the agreement was made on the basis of Clause 3, Part 1, Article 106 of the Constitution of Ukraine, Article 24 of the Law “On International Treaties of Ukraine” and Article 56 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of International Treaties.
The Cabinet of Ministers also earlier approved a draft law that will initiate reforms in the shipping industry of Ukraine.
