The Ukrainian parliament committee for international affairs on Monday recommended against ratifying a new deal extending Russia's use of a naval base in Crimea.
The deal, signed by the Russian and Ukrainian presidents on April 21, extends the lease on the Russian base in the port of Sevastopol for 25 years after the current lease was to expire in 2017, and may be further extended by another five years.
