Russia intends to withdraw from its long-standing agreement on military-technical cooperation with Germany, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced, citing that relevant internal procedures are currently underway.
"The formally valid agreement between the governments of the Russian Federation and the Federal Republic of Germany on military-technical cooperation, signed on 14 June, 1996, has, under current conditions, lost its relevance and practical utility," the Ministry stated.
It added that, "It no longer corresponds to the present state of Russian-German bilateral relations, which have been shaped by the openly hostile policies of the German authorities and the increasingly aggressive militarist aspirations of the German government."
The Ministry stated that Russia plans to terminate the agreement, and that necessary domestic steps are being taken to facilitate the exit.
The statement further accused Germany’s leadership of ideologically manipulating the German public in an anti-Russian direction and provoking an escalation in the military-political landscape.
"The German government is driven by unfounded foreign policy ambitions that directly affect Russia’s vital security interests," the Ministry concluded.
