The Kremlin announced that Russia would withdraw from the agreement in June. The administration of US President Joe Biden informed Moscow in May that he did not plan to rejoin the Open Skies Treaty, from which the administration of former President Donald Trump had withdrawn in 2020. The decision was explained by a violation of the Moscow Treaty.
Russia has denied its guilt and hoped that Biden would reverse Trump’s decision. However, the Baiden administration has also accused Moscow of violating the treaty.
The Open Skies Treaty entered into force in 2002 and covered more than 30 Member States in the Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian area, including the United States and Russia. The aim of the agreement is to facilitate the exchange of information in order to increase confidence and prevent the emergence of a new arms race.
