Reference: The Treaty between Ukraine and the russian federation on the Ukrainian-russian State Border, signed on January 28, 2003, defines the border line between the countries on land, waters, subsoil and airspace. It was ratified in 2004, but disputes arose after its signing, in particular over the construction of a dam in the Kerch Strait. russia subsequently blocked the border demarcation process, which led to Ukraine's unilateral actions to mark the borders. With the beginning of russia's aggression against Ukraine in 2014, the country violated this treaty and other international agreements, which led to significant changes in bilateral relations.
