The head of the Russian space agency warned Saturday that the International Space Station could crash if the sanctions are not lifted.

The operation of Russian spaceships servicing the International Space Station could be disrupted by the sanctions that preceded Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

The Russian segment of the station could fall into the sea or onto land because of this.

On average, the Russian segment fixes the station's orbit 11 times a year, including to avoid space debris, according to the man who expresses his support for the Russian army in Ukraine on social networks.

He pointed out that it was unlikely that the International Space Station would come down in Russia.

The population of other countries should think about the price of the sanctions against the Russian company, since they are led by the "dogs of war", he said.

The threat of the space station falling to earth was raised by Rogozin last month.

NASA said on March 1 that it was trying to find a solution to keep the space station in the air.

The crews and supplies are transported by a spaceship.

The launcher used for take-off had been under US sanctions since the year 2021, as well as EU and Canadian sanctions.

The European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency were appealed to by the Russian company.

The United States and Russia are still cooperating in space.

Russia finds itself increasingly isolated as a result of the war in Ukraine, and at the beginning of March, it was announced that the construction of military satellites would be prioritized.

The engines for the US Atlas and Antares rockets would no longer be supplied by Moscow.

He wrote that they should be allowed to soar into space on their broomsticks.

On March 30th, Mark Vande Hei and two other people are going to return to Earth from the International Space Station.
