Moscow to suspend American GPS sites on Russian territory from June

“Russia is going to suspend the operation of all American GPS sites on its territory, starting from June 1, said Russia’s deputy PM, Dmitry Rogozin, who is in charge of space and defense industries.  ‘Starting June 1, we will halt the work of those stations on Russian territory,’ Rogozin said.  Rogozin pointed out that American GPS ground stations are located in Russia under an agreement that dates back to 1993 and 2001. ‘Under this agreement there are 11 GPS stations on the territories of 10 [Russian federal] subjects,’ he said.  If negotiations turn out to be fruitless, operation of the 11 American GPS stations in Russia will ‘be permanently terminated’ from September 1, he warned.”
