  1. Why is John Mearsheimer supporting the Russian half's Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact's European sphere of influence divide? BEFORE Euromaidan, 1. Pressured Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. On 21 April 2010, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych signed an agreement[16] in which Russia agreed to a 30% drop in the price of natural gas sold to Ukraine. Russia agreed to this in exchange for permission to extend Russia's lease of a major naval base in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Sevastopol for an additional 25 years (to 2042) with an option for a further 5-year renewal (to 2047).[17] The agreement put a cap on the scale of price hikes; but the main unfavourable terms for Ukraine of the 2009 gas contract remained in place.[18] This pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake that breached Ukraine's Constitution 1996, Article 17. You missed the small detail in Ukraine's Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO.
