The sanctions imposed after its invasion of Ukraine proved untenable.
Rogozin said Moscow's decision to leave the ISS is down to economic sanctions imposed on the country as a result of its invasion of Ukraine. The move marks the end of an unprecedented era of global collaboration and is the culmination of a breakup that has been brewing for a long time.
Both the U.S. and Russia have already made plans for life beyond the aging ISS, and Russia has previously been vocal about continuing space operations without U.S. collaborations.On Saturday, April 30, two Russian state news agencies, Tass and RIA Novosti, reported that Rogozin said the decision had been made in an official capacity.
"The decision has been taken already, we're not obliged to talk about it publicly," he explained on state television."I can say this only — in accordance with our obligations, we'll inform our partners about the end of our work on the ISS with a year's notice." Shortly after the start of Russia's conflict in Ukraine, when the U.S. and other global powers levied aerospace sanctions against Russia, Rogozin famously stated that the U.S. could launch to space aboardas it could no longer rely on Russian Soyuz rocket launches for its space operations. The head of Roscosmos blasted the Western economic sanctions and also said the country would cease partnerships with NASA and the European Space Agency.
"I believe that the restoration of normal relations between partners in the International Space Station and other joint projects is possible only with the complete and unconditional lifting of illegal sanctions,"
