The President spoke on "opening the skies" for civilian UAVs
See more on the Kremlin’s official website.
We need to act as soon as possible to, in the words of experts, "open the skies" for civilian UAVs. <...> Despite all the objective challenges we are facing now, this issue is essential for ensuring the sector is developed at an accelerated pace. <...> I believe that drone flights should be allowed in the regions where it would be reasonable in terms of safety and where other necessary conditions are in place for it. I would like to ask the Government to prepare specific decisions in this regard by April 30.
