Russia: No more engines for US spy satellite launches

Published May 13, 2014 4:00am ET



Russia is striking back against U.S. sanctions with a series of tit-for-tat measures announced Tuesday that include a ban on the sale of rocket engines for U.S. military satellite launches and an end to cooperation on the International Space Station in 2020.

The sanctions, announced in a press briefing by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, are designed to punish the U.S. for measures imposed against Russia after Moscow annexed Crimea in violation of a 1994 deal with the U.S., Britain and Ukraine to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
