On Wednesday, the Russian Transport Ministry announced that air travel with Tajikistan would be suspended starting from December 22.

The announcement followed the decision of the Tajik aviation authorities not to grant a permit to the Yamal air carrier to conduct flights from the Zhukovsky airport in the Moscow region to the Tajik capital, Dushanbe, and the city of Khujand in northern Tajikistan this winter.

Russia considered the move a violation of commitments under previous bilateral agreements.
