This was reported on the Facebook page of the Russian Embassy in the United States.

"The administration continues its destructive line of breaking ties in areas that have nothing to do with politics," Antonov said.

According to him, claims that the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology is an “end user of the military” does not hold water.

“It's no secret that the university prepares technical specialists, incl.

for military-industrial complex enterprises.

But how this threatens the national security of the United States, one can only guess, ”the diplomat added. 

He stressed that "every new restriction is a missed opportunity to normalize bilateral ties."

Earlier it became known that the United States is imposing export restrictions on the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

This decision was made by the US Bureau of Industry and Security in connection with the "production of military products for military end users."

MIPT expressed the hope that MIPT will be able to continue to cooperate with American universities and scientific institutes after the export restrictions on the educational institution imposed by the US Department of Commerce.
