It is necessary to "open the sky" for civilian drones in Russia as soon as possible, President Vladimir Putin said on January 28 at a meeting on the development of unmanned aviation.

"It is necessary to "open the sky" for civilian drones as soon as possible, as experts say. <...> With all the current objective difficulties, increased safety requirements, this is a fundamental issue for the industry's advanced development," the president said.

He expressed the opinion that in those regions where it is justified by safety and where there are other necessary conditions for it, UAV flights should be allowed.

Putin urged the government to prepare specific decisions in this regard by April 30.
