4⃣ If/when the United States indicates that it would like to rejoin the #OpenSkiesTreaty, legal experts from the United States, Russia and other interested state-parties should meet to discuss and agree on legal mechanisms by which Washington could do so. 4/4
3⃣ The US & its @NATO allies should issue a joint statement that as long as Washington remains outside the treaty it will not seek & allies will not share the data collected & allies will not deny Russia to overfly U.S. military installations/activities on their territories. 3/4
2⃣ The Russian government should pause its internal deliberations on withdrawal to give the @JoeBiden administration time to conduct its review. 2/4
The #OpenSkiesTreaty is in peril. The @deepcutsproject proposes several steps to preserve the treaty: 1⃣ The @JoeBiden administration should expeditiously conduct a review of its policy toward the Open Skies Treaty & announce whether it will rejoin. 1/4 deepcuts.org/news/detail/pa…)
