See Press Release, United States’ Notification of Suspension, By Mutual Agreement, of the 1992 Tax Convention with Russia (June 17, 2024), https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2410.

The suspension will take effect both for taxes withheld at source and in respect of other taxes on August 16, 2024, and will continue until otherwise decided by the two governments.
