I came to terms with the more expensive Russian gas for Ukraine- no problem. I do have a problem with Ukraine subsidizing Russia by providing cheap rent for the Black Sea Fleet.

I can't blame you for not liking the cheap rent Russia pays for the harboring their Black Se Fleet. However, under the terms of the agreement you received Russian territory, which will be returned to Russia if you negate the treaty. In other words, you were paid not only with rent, but also with territory.

I read recently that this agreement is invalid according to the Ukrainian constitution. If so the Russians are there illegally.

"which will be returned to Russia if you negate the treaty"

What about the treaty that obligated Russia to allow the transport of the $50 gas that Ukraine bought from Turkmanistan.
