Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said today that fresh US sanctions against Moscow could compromise US astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS).
"If their aim is to deliver a blow to Russia's rocket-building sector, then by default, they would be exposing their astronauts on the ISS," the Interfax news agency quoted Rogozin as saying in Crimea.
The ISS is a permanently staffed research laboratory that flies about 260 miles above Earth.
