Russia’s suggestive video about the future of the ISS | Digital Trends Spanish

One of the main unknowns that arose after the Russian attack on Ukraine began was the fate of the International Space Station (ISS), especially since astronauts and cosmonauts from the United States and Russia, respectively, live and work inside it.

Although the US position has been to maintain joint collaboration -they indicate that the war in Ukraine should not hinder scientific work in space-, the attitude of the Russians has been more challenging by leaving open the possibility that their participation on the ISS could come to an end soon.

So at least the Eurasian nation has made it known in a video posted on social networks. The record was shared by the state media company RIA Novosti and it shows how the Russian segment of the ship detaches from the space station. There is also a group of Russian officials who applaud when this happens.

Russian gov’t-controlled RIA Novosti @rianru posted a video on Telegram made by @Roscosmos where cosmonauts say goodbye to Mark Vande Hei on #ISSdepartment, and then the Russian segment detaches from the rest of ISS. @Rogozin is clearly threatening the ISS program. #POT #ukraine pic.twitter.com/fj2coK1xR1

At the end, the video displays a disclaimer and indicates that it was created with montage footage of “unreal events.”

A day after it was published, Dimitry Rogozin, head of the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos), blamed the United States and other countries for the possible end of collaboration in space.

“The blame for the collapse of cooperation in space falls on the shoulders of the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany. These countries destroyed what humanity created with such difficulty, what was built with the blood and sweat of the people who dominated space,” the Russian official said.

Although the video is false and poses only a hypothetical scenario, it shows that relations between Russia and the United States in space are not going through their best moment.
