Russia To Drop Out Of International Space Station After 2024
Russia will pull out of the International Space Station after 2024 and focus on building its own orbiting outpost, the country’s new space chief said Tuesday amid high tensions between Moscow and the West over the fighting in Ukraine.
Yuri Borisov, appointed this month to lead the state space agency, Roscosmos, said during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin that Russia will fulfill its obligations to its partners before it leaves.
PSI has noted previously that since the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has told its Western partners it was checking out of the project over sanctions.
Russian space analysts have already noted that Russia never agreed to extend its involvement in the ISS beyond 2024; the U.S. space agency NASA and the other international partners now want the project extended to at least 2030.

I suspect that the wwIII is just around the corner if Jupiter does not turn into a second star in our solar system!
