After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NASA announced that cooperation with Russia and other countries on the International Space Station continued as it was. However, although it is used for peaceful purposes, space still remains a military area. Despite the peaceful statements made by NASA and ESA, the statement from Russia is not at the same frequency.
Russian space agency Roscosmos director Dmitry Rogozin, in a statement on Twitter, stated that Russia can withdraw its support from the International Space Station at any time. He claims that without Russia, the International Space Station could eventually fall on the USA, Europe and even India and China. Because the part of the station under the control of the Russians ensures that the vehicle stays stable in Earth orbit. It may be possible to pursue this without Russia, but it has never been tried.
