The Russian Ministry of Defense has received approval from the Russian government to terminate 10 military cooperation agreements and one corresponding memorandum, which Russia concluded with a number of European countries between 1992 and 2002. The relevant decree was published on Friday, December 19, on the official Russian legal information portal.
The list of agreements that the Russian Ministry of Defense can terminate includes agreements on "cooperation in the military sphere" with countries such as Germany, Poland, Romania, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Croatia, Belgium, and the Czech Republic, as well as a memorandum concluded between the Ministries of Defense of the Russian Federation and Great Britain.
The agreements being terminated were part of the legal framework that regulated bilateral military cooperation between the signatories, formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
