Russia: exit from open skies agreement – view

The 1992 Agreement on Open Skies (Open Skies Treaty) is about to come to an end after the USA had also withdrawn.

The US government informed Russia at the end of May that it did not want to revert to the agreement. According to Russian information, this means that the topic will also be off the table at Putin’s summit with US President Joe Biden on June 16 in Geneva.
