The State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a law on the denunciation of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE). The draft on withdrawing from the CFE agreement was submitted to the State Duma on May 10.

The CFE Treaty was signed in Paris in 1990, and in 1999 an updated version of the agreement was signed at the OSCE summit in Istanbul. The adapted treaty was ratified by only four countries – Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. In 2007, the Russian Federation suspended its participation in the CFE Treaty “until the NATO countries ratify the Agreement on Adaptation and begin to implement this document in good faith.”
