Antonov called the new US sanctions an attempt to limit the development of Russia

The new U.S. sanctions , including in the aerospace sector, serve as deliberate attempts to limit Russia's technological development. This was stated by the Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov, whose words are quoted in his TELEGRAM channel by the press service of the embassy.

According to Antonov, the US Treasury Department is threatening sanctions for any interaction with RUSSIA in the aerospace sector, while the US National Aerospace Agency (NASA) has expressed extreme interest in maintaining the dialogue. He also called the new anti-Russian sanctions "deliberate attempts to limit the technological development of Russia."

“We call on the American authorities to stop waving the sanctions cudgel that strikes at the United States itself and its allies,” the HEAD of the Russian diplomatic mission added.

The day before, March 31, the US Treasury expanded its sanctions list by adding 13 individuals and 21 companies from Russia. The U.S. blocking sanctions included, among others, Research Institute Vector, JSC Mikron, Research Institute of Molecular Electronics (NIIME), Sernia Engineering LLC and other high-tech companies.
