“Those who cherish the fate of the Open Skies Treaty from among the US allies and those who, perhaps, are still thinking about this in Washington, have a little more than a month and a half left.

After that, apparently, what is called “turning back” will be extremely difficult, ”RIA Novosti quotes the words of the Deputy Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Ryabkov.

He noted that after the adoption of the law on denunciation, Moscow will give the depositaries of the Treaty a note on the upcoming withdrawal and after six months will leave the treaty.

“The question to all those who in the West thinks in the style of pique vests about how to be in this situation, the question is whether a month and a half is enough for them to still make this or that decision in favor of preserving the treaty or not conservation.

Responsibility for them, ”the diplomat added.

Earlier, Russia's Permanent Representative to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, said that Moscow could refrain from withdrawing from the Don if Washington quickly returns to the treaty.
