Roscosmos reported how much the States lost on anti-Russian sanctions.
US President Joe Biden, assessing the economic situation of the country, called the reason for the sharp rise in inflation.
Recall, as analysts note, its indicators are record for the last 40 years.
The President explained that the incomes of the country’s citizens are falling amid rising prices.
According to him, it was Russia that made a big contribution to the increase in gasoline and energy prices. He noted that the budgets of Americans are being depleted due to price increases.
“As the markets reacted to Putin’s aggressive actions,” Biden said in a statement.
He added that the Russian economy suffered even more from the sanctions.
The US Department of Labor estimated the growth of consumer prices at 0.8% compared to January 2022. Annual figures are estimated as a record since 1982 and amount to 7.9%.
In turn, the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said that the United States, which had stopped supplying Russian-made rocket engines, had already lost about $ 4 billion.
In an interview with State Duma deputies from the LDPR, he explained that the retaliatory sanctions of Roscosmos amount to $ 12 billion, which the United States will lose. As a result, the damage caused by anti-Russian sanctions is higher for their initiators, Interfax reports from his words.
Recall that Russia has already canceled the launch of British OneWeb satellites, and earlier Rogozin himself claimed that a blow to international cooperation on the ISS could lead to the station’s departure from orbit.
Then he explained that the station does not run over the territory of Russia, and the fall of the 500-kilogram ISS may fall on the territory of the United States..
As Topnews wrote earlier, on February 24, a Russian special operation was announced in Ukraine, which caused anti-Russian sanctions from the United States.
Biden announced them as “unprecedented”, assuring that he has nothing against ordinary Russians.
