Russian official under US sanction plays key role in Pentagon space program


Posted: Apr 25, 2014

I'm not sure what to make of this, but this entire Russian-Ukraine issue has me nervous. The first 2 paragraphs of the article are here. The rest is at the link. I know a lot of you don't like Fox News, but my feeling is that this is not a right or left wing article.

A top Russian official sanctioned by President Obama in the wake of the Ukraine crisis is playing a key role in the Pentagon's space program, and thereby continuing to benefit from a lucrative no-bid contract that the Department of Defense awarded earlier this year, Fox News has confirmed. 

Dmitry Rogozin, deputy prime minister of the Russian Federation, was among the senior Kremlin officials targeted by the White House's sanctions announcement of March 17. Included in Rogozin's broad portfolio of duties, by virtue of a special order from Russian President Vladimir Putin issued two years ago, is oversight of the Russian space sector, in which capacity Rogozin supplies sophisticated hardware used in the Pentagon's launches of satellites into space.
