The Pentagon announced the continuation of modernization of aircraft in the framework of the Don

It is reported by TASS.

“The program inside the Air Force continues. There are no changes in this regard, ”said the Lord in response to a question about the status of the Pentagon’s program to modernize military equipment for the Don against the background of reports of a possible withdrawal of the United States from this treaty.

Earlier, representatives of the leadership of the factions of the US Democratic Party in Congress warned that Washington’s withdrawal from the Open Skies Treaty would be “another gift” from the White House to Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

In early October, CNN, citing a source, announced plans for the administration of US President Donald Trump to soon announce a decision to withdraw from the agreement.

The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the United States did not notify Moscow of its withdrawal from the Don.
