Attestion de décision favorable, Traveling Outside Schengen Zone not mentioned

I received my Attestion de décision favorable which says

"Cette attestation n'est valable qu'accompagnée du visa de long séjour ou du titre précédemment détenu. Ce document autorise le franchissement des frontières de l'espace Schengen."

I am an Indian passport holder and need to travel to USA for a conference. I requested for a physical card but no news so far. Can I travel with the ATTESTATION DE DÉCISION FAVORABLE and the old titre de sejour?

Misha Verbitsky, a prominent mathematician and long-time critic of the Russian state, has reportedly been arrested at Yerevan airport at Russia's request.

I have received an email about this from my university's math group. the email says the following (after a translation):

"Misha Verbitsky, a prominent mathematician and long-time critic of the Russian state, has reportedly been arrested at Yerevan airport at Russia's request.

Verbitsky is known not only for his mathematical work, but also for his uncompromising public writings: against war, against censorship, in favour of an open culture and freedom of expression. You don't have to agree with everything he wrote to understand the danger it represents. Russia's accusations against him are part of his political rhetoric and dissent. His extradition to Russia would therefore expose him to serious danger.

Armenia is not expected to hand him over. At a minimum, Verbitsky must have immediate access to lawyers, independent observers, and a fair process in which the political nature of the Russian request is taken seriously.

It is urgent. Please disseminate reliable information, contact academic and human rights networks, and call on the Armenian authorities not to extradite Misha Verbitsky to Russia.

If you have any questions, please contact her daughter, Sima."
