Russia warns that Biden’s sanctions could cause it to drop the International Space Station on the United States
Russian leadership threatened to allow the International Space Station (ISS) to crash into the United States or one of its allies following President Joe Biden’s recently announced sanctions on Russia.
Biden issued sanctions on Russia that target the country’s “aerospace industry, including their space program,” the U.S. Sun reported.
In response to Biden’s sanctions, Dimitry Rogozin, the Director-General of Roscomos, suggested that the United States wants to “destroy our cooperation on the ISS.”
Russian leadership claimed that the United States needs to cooperate with Russia if they want to prevent the ISS from falling on the United States or Europe.
Rogozin said, “If you block cooperation with us, who will save the International Space Station (ISS) from an uncontrolled de-orbit and fall into the United States or … Europe?”
He added, “There is also the possibility of a 500-ton structure falling on India and China.” – READ MORE
