Russian Ambassador to the United States on sanctions against MIPT: Washington's statements do not stand up to criticism The Ministry of Trade, in particular directed against the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT). He stressed that Washington's statements about the threat to the national security of the United States from the organization do not hold water. The message was posted on Facebook by the diplomatic mission.
“The administration continues its destructive line of breaking ties in areas that have nothing to do with politics. Each new restriction is a missed opportunity to normalize bilateral ties, “the diplomat emphasized.
Antonov recalled that MIPT really trains technical specialists, including for the military-industrial complex, but how this threatens the national security of the United States, one can only guess. The ambassador concluded that, as usual, no facts were provided to Moscow.
Earlier it became known that the US Department of Commerce included 27 companies on the list of organizations that threaten the country's national security. In particular, export restrictions were introduced against the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT).
