“How will this affect our enterprises, I’ll say this: we are ... formally Roscosmos is not under sanctions, but de facto for a long time already,” he said.
Rogozin stressed that space cooperation is the quintessence of politics, "everything is reflected there."
“This is a demonstration of technology, this is a race,” he added.
Earlier, Dmitry Rogozin said that he wrote a letter to the US Secretary of Commerce, in which he explained the erroneousness of the sanctions imposed on enterprises of the Russian space industry.
He also called on the US to lift sanctions against the enterprises of the state corporation and consider them a "misunderstanding."
In December, the US Department of Commerce published a list of Russian and Chinese organizations in respect of which the US authorities intend to impose export restrictions.
The list includes the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Foreign Intelligence Service, Rostec, as well as companies in the space industry.
