The head of Russia’s space program, Dmitry Rogozin, responded against The announcement of new sanctions against Russia by threatening that the restrictions would destroy Russia’s partnership with NASA and lead to the demise of the International Space Station.
"Who will save the space station from an uncontrolled deorbit? If you block cooperation with us, who will save the ISS from uncontrolled deorbiting and falling into the United States or Europe?" "There is also the option of dropping a 500-ton structure to India and China. Do you want to threaten them with such a prospect? The ISS does not fly over Russia, so all the risks are yours. Are you ready for them?" the Russian space agency chief said in a tweet.
