The International Space Station, which Russia said could “fall on our heads” in the past few days, came to the fore again with the continuation of the sanctions against Russia.
While Russia’s occupation in Ukraine, which has been going on for a while, is expected to end with the negotiations that are expected to be held in our country in the coming days, many sanctions are still applied to Russia. Putin’s search for a way out in the face of these sanctions continues.
Upon the sanctions from numerous institutions and organizations, Russia said that it would cease cooperation with the International Space Station and demanded that these sanctions be lifted. Ruz Space Agency President Dmitry Rogozin, in a tweet, announced the new methods they will resort to if the sanctions are not lifted.
Cooperation with ESA and CSA suspended

Last month, again in the face of sanctions, Russia put forward the ISS and made statements that it would fall ‘uncontrolled’ to Europe or the USA, and gave a kind of warning. A new one was added to these warnings today, with a tweet by Dmitry Rogozin, and it was announced that if the sanctions were not withdrawn, Russia could completely terminate its cooperation with the ISS. with description While projects with the European Space Agency (ESA) and Canadian Space Agency (CSA) are suspendedThe situation does not look very bright in terms of cooperation with other countries.

These are to suffocate the Russian economy, to push our people into despair and hunger…” in his words, A clear date will be set in the coming days to completely ban ISS collaborations. He claimed. NASA, on the other hand, announced that it is working to continue this cooperation until 2030. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson also stated that “The United States will continue to support cooperation in space, especially activities related to the operation of the International Space Station by Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan.” Considering Rogozin’s tweet, it remains unclear how long this situation will continue and whether the sanctions will be withdrawn.
