Since the attack on Ukraine, America and many European countries are imposing strict sanctions on Russia. These countries are making many announcements to teach a lesson to Russia, especially on the economic front. The US and its allies have decided to block assets of four major Russian banks, curtail exports and ban those close to Putin.
According to a CNN report, under the new sanctions announced by US President Joe Biden, there is talk of ‘degrading’ Russia’s aerospace industry, including its space program. Russia has also retaliated on these steps of America.
Roscosmos Chief Dmitry Rogozin tweeted that if you disrupt cooperation, who will save the International Space Station (ISS) from going out of orbit uncontrollably? Will it fall in America or Europe? There is also the possibility of a 500-tonne structure falling on India and China, he added. He said that the ISS does not fly over Russia, so all the dangers associated with it are yours. Are you ready for them? Significantly, Russia has an important responsibility in controlling the ISS. In many respects here the role of Russian engines is important.
It should be noted that Russia has the responsibility of guiding, navigation and control of the entire complex of International Space Station. However, in this whole matter, the US space agency NASA has clarified that the US space agency will continue to work with ‘Roscosmos and other partners such as Canada, Europe and Japan, so that the ISS can be operated safely. The space agency has said that currently four NASA astronauts, two from Russia and one from Europe are present in the ISS and are doing their work there.
