On December 18, the Russian Federation withdraws from the Open Skies Treaty (OON), suspending the fulfillment of all obligations under this agreement.
The treaty provided the participants with the right to fly over each other’s territories to observe military activities. Washington in November of last year withdrew from the Don under the pretext of violation by Moscow of a number of its points.
On June 18, the law on the denunciation of the agreement by Russia came into force. According to the document, Moscow withdraws from the treaty exactly six months after the notification was sent to the remaining participating countries, TASS reports.
