MOSCOW, January 10. /TASS/. Head of Russia's Roscosmos State Space Corporation Dmitry Rogozin has said his visit to the United States at NASA’s invitation has been cancelled because the "second American civil war" is underway.

"I think that America is actually engulfed by its second civil war now," Rogozin said in an interview with Rossiya-24 TV channel, commenting on the reasons behind his visit’s cancellation.

According to Rogozin, NASA has fallen victim to a domestic struggle in the country and the entire situation with the sanctions lists is "an outrage." "This is complete international lawlessness and I absolutely don’t care about those motives which guided people in the Obama administration or the current Senate," the Roscosmos chief stressed.
