Foreign Ministry: Russia handed over to the United States a note on the termination of the memorandum of understanding in the field of culture

“The actions of the Americans (on the“ abolition ”of Russian culture. -

) led to the fact that the further preservation of this memorandum simply lost its meaning.

On June 1, we handed over the corresponding note with notification to the Embassy of the United States of America in Moscow.

Once again, we draw the attention of the American side to the fact that any unfriendly attack by Washington will be followed by an inevitable adequate response,” said Maria Zakharova.

She recalled that the memorandum was signed in Moscow in September 1998.

On May 30, the Russian government approved a proposal by the Russian Foreign Ministry to terminate the memorandum of understanding with the United States in the fields of culture, the humanities and social sciences, education, and the media.
