French Foreign Ministry Hopes Russia Will Refrain From Leaving Open Skies Treaty

Paris, Jan 16 (Sputnik) – France regrets the Russian decision to leave the Open Skies Treaty and hope that Moscow will revise its stance on the issue, a spokesperson for the French Foreign Ministry said.
On Friday, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the country was beginning procedures to leave the deal, as no progress had been made in removing obstacles that hinder treaty functioning after Washington's pullout. When the procedures are completed, Moscow will send a notification will to depositories.
“France regrets the Russian statement on its plans to initiate soon the procedure of withdrawing from the Open Skies Treaty, which is a pillar of the conventional arms control system as well as promotes peace and security on our continent … We hope that the Russian Federation will revise its decision, which undermines the treaty itself, and, moreover, our efforts aimed at boosting mutual confidence and improving our collective security,” the spokesperson said on late Friday.
