Russian Space Agency official said U.S. has already paid in ruble for its astronaut's flight on Russian spacecraft in an interview on Saturday, according to China Media Group.

Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Russia's state space corporation Roscosmos, said the U.S. has paid the full amount of the cost of the flight to the International Space Station for the crewmate Mark Vande Hei on the Russia "Soyuz" spacecraft in an interview with the Russia 24 news channel.

NASA has chosen the Axiom Space Corporation as a middle man to purchase a seat for the American astronaut under pressure from Congress.

NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei returned to Earth with two Russian cosmonauts aboard Russia's Soyuz MS-19 Spacecraft in the end of March.

The payment was a month later than planned, according to Rogozin. He said Axiom Space is the direct payer who made the payment of 2 billion rubles, not NASA.

In March, Rogozin said Roscosmos will switch to ruble-denominated contracts with other countries, according to TASS state news agency.

The move came after Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia will seek payment in rubles for gas sales from "unfriendly" countries as part of countermeasures against Western countries freezing Russia's overseas assets.

My God

So USA still uses style to pay Russia for services they need hahaha,.

Putin has really gotten them all with his fiscal policies.

You did not attend School ni? It's Private company that NASA that is funded by US Goverment contracted to act as intermediary. NASA paid the company in US dollars and do not have interest of how the Private company decided to pay to Russia to secure seats. You made it seem as if NASA paid directly to Russia.

In other words, US space agency sanctioned the payment which means that the govt is aware, which inadvertently means that US made the payment. Don't try to confuse us

I want to ask you a question, does US government calls the shot in privately owned companies? As long As you get paid by US Goverment in US dollars, it's not their business if you pay in Naira, just deliver service you paid for.

ROSCOSMOS like their brother GAZPROM de make the demand for Ruble increase thereby strengthening their currency.

In one African country like that, the executives will not only sabotage the national company they will settle for Zimbabwean dollar. They just want to hear dollar dazzol.

Putin continues to grab them by the scrotum. He won't let go.

Sir, you understand that the Russian Federation is under US supervised sanction and for a private firm operating in the US to violate the sanctions to pay Russia for their services means that the US govt approved the payment.

Understood you, Just trying to make out a point. But Since this message is just Coming out from Russia, Lets just leave it that way.

There is no need quarrelling over this. The point is that a US company paid for space transport on Russia's flight, and the payment was in Rubles, not in Dollars. That settles it.

You have to accept the fact USA still deals with Russia and pays in rubles..

USA even still buys oil from Russia but you love USA so much you think they not a snake lol.

If USA did not pay then they will be the first to speak up that the information is wrong that what all nations always do when ever their is a conflict of interest.

You can't lie about another nation and expect that nation is take it.

Common try to understand it.

The 'collective west' is led by a bunch of unintelligent short-sighted bureaucrats whose policies while serving their Establishment Masters are driven by pure irrational emotions rather than pragmatic and logical reasoning. It's pure madness.

I will not be surprise once protest start hitting many European capitals. Once the government becomes unable to sustain the money subsidies they are currently doing, it would be hell on them. Biden is already blaming Russia, calling it Putin's tax. These guys are funny.
