In 2010, following an appeal by the people's deputies and the third President of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko, regarding the interpretation of the provisions of the Constitution regarding the limitation of terms of placement of foreign military bases, the Constitutional Court requested a scientific opinion.

The conclusion stated that this issue "should not be considered by the Constitutional Court (...) because the interpretation (...) in this case is impossible and may lead to the intervention of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine in political issues.".[citation needed]
