Russia is terminating the agreement on cooperation with the United States in the spheres of law and drug enforcement, the Russian government reported Wednesday.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has signed a relevant order to terminate the deal, the government said in a statement on its website.
“The order was initiated by the Russian Foreign Ministry, as the above agreement is out of line with today’s realities and has exhausted its potential,” the statement said.
The agreement was signed on September 25, 2002. As part of the deal, the United States provided financial assistance to relevant Russian bodies for anticrime projects.
The Russian government's move comes amid deteriorating ties between the two countries over human rights.
