Russia Abandons Space Station Despite Biden’s Pleading

Russia will pull out of the International Space Station (ISS) long before the Biden administration wanted, in what seems to be a bid to embarrass America.

“You know that we are working within the framework of international cooperation at the International Space Station,” Yury Borisov, the new chief of Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, told Vladimir Putin. “Undoubtedly, we will fulfill all our obligations to our partners, but the decision to leave the station after 2024 has been made.”
