Do you want a 500-tonne space station to fall in India ? Russia opposes sanctions

Moscow (Russia) – If you block cooperation with us, who will save the International Space Station (ISS) from an uncontrolled deorbit and fall into the United States or Europe ? There is a possibility of a 500-tonne structure falling on India and China. Do you want to threaten them with such a prospect ? The ISS does not fly over Russia, therefore, all the risks are yours. Are you ready for them, tweeted Rogozin, the Russian space agency chief.
