Antonov said the absence of official data on the US withdrawal from the Don

“There is no official confirmation from the US. If the United States decides to withdraw from the treaty, it will be a serious blow to European and international security, ”the Russian ambassador said. His words are quoted by TASS.

Earlier, the head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Federation Council, Konstantin Kosachev, in an interview with the NSN, warned that if such a decision was made by the United States, Russia would take mirror measures.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Washington’s move would be a blow to international security.

At the end of October, The Wall Street Journal, citing two sources, wrote that US President Donald Trump signed a document "testifying to his intention to withdraw the United States from the Open Skies Treaty."
