– We will continue to fulfill all our obligations to our partners, but the decision to leave the space station after 2024 has been made, says Roskosmos chief Yuri Borisov. Roscosmos is Russia’s space agency. The announcement came in a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. – Russia has played a very important role in making the International Space Station as successful as it is, says Jeremy Grunert, senior lecturer in Law at the United States Air Force Academy to news. – Russia has been an important actor when it comes to launching and supplying both staffing and material to the International Space Station, he says. The International Space Station is operated by five partners: the United States, Russia, Japan, Europe and Canada. Although Russia is withdrawing from the cooperation, Roscosmos and Nasa, the US space agency, recently signed an agreement to fly each other’s astronauts into space through the company SpaceX.
