Russia and the United States have worked side by side on the ISS, which has been in orbit since 1998.
"Of course, we will fulfil all our obligations to our partners, but the decision to leave this station after 2024 has been made," Yury Borisov, who was appointed Roscosmos chief in mid-July, told Putin.
"I think that by this time we will start putting together a Russian orbital station," Borisov added, calling it the space programme's main "priority".

Screw those Commie bastards, and screw their wussy little space station.
Space x about to get a whole lot more important.
The toilets are backed up and all the screen doors are falling of their hinges. The Russkis don’t want to foot the repair bills.
When it is time for the ISS to de-orbit will Taco Bell tow a target out into the ocean and give everyone a free taco if the station hits it? Like they did with MIR.
“Elon Musk, white courtesy telephone, please.”
russians becoming disgruntled over their share of the silicone manufactured ?
No Tang or Food Sticks even. What the heck did we get from the ISS except finding out that Space hates humans?

The US and USSR space programs were jump-started by the infusion of Nazi scientists on both sides. We have since grown our own rocket scientists; I wonder how much the post-USSR Russians have been able to grown their own, or if their technology is lagging.

Well we got that video of the Canadian guy playing “Space Oddity” in outer space.
No more than the ISS, which isn’t very important.
The US should be ditching this pile of junk, too, but we’re big on wasting taxpayer money.
I am glad, that a large part of the Russian booster engine stockpile has been used up, though. It’s a better use than the original intent.
“I hope NASA changes the keys and locks on the place.”
NASA does not even have the technology to get to the space station.
Perhaps they can use magic spells to change the keys and locks!
That and every new resident saying “Fantastic. The earth is so beautiful”.
SpaceX Dragon 2 has done it twice already
Bet the astronauts are hurt by this...I believe they ALL are dedicated to the mission and to each other. Sad.
“When it is time for the ISS to de-orbit will Taco Bell tow a target out into the ocean and give everyone a free taco if the station hits it? Like they did with MIR.”
One of the greatest promotions of all time
What about crew3 in Nov. 2021?
Name five things that the international space station accomplished.
