Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich signed an agreement prolonging the term of the treaty allowing the Russian Black Sea Fleet to be based in Crimea, Ukraine, from 2017 to 2042. The Ukrainian opposition, headed by ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, loudly protests. The treaty is yet to be ratified by the parliaments. As a part of the deal, Russia agreed to dramatically decrease the price for natural gas supplied from Russia to Ukraine.
