Contacts between Russia and Western nations on preserving Open Skies Treaty continue

Russia continue dialogue with the Western nations on preserving the Open Skies Treaty, Konstantin Gavrilov, who leads the Russian delegation to the military security and arms control talks in Vienna, said on Friday.

"Contacts continue. <…> We made it quite clear to the American partners that we still have time and they can take their decision, the European can take a decision and be back in the Treaty," he said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 television channel.

He stressed that Russia can consider this matter in a constructive matter but time is running out. "Time is running out. <…> We are waiting for an answer from the Americans," he added.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said earlier that Russia would be ready to consider the situation around the Open Skies Treaty when the United States was back in it.
