Confirming Russia's Friday decision, issued in the form of a government regulation, Lusa recalled that the agreement between Lisbon and Moscow on military cooperation was concluded in 2000.
The Russian government also terminated similar agreements concluded with France in 1994 and with Canada in 1989, which came into force before the collapse of the former USSR.

In July, Mishustin terminated the agreement on military and technical cooperation with Germany, and in June – with Sweden.
