Russia to U.S. -Lift sanctions on space sector or we'll exit space station
&gt; &quot;This is in the hands of our American partners,&quot;<p>&gt; The United States and other Western countries began imposing sanctions against Russia in the wake of its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.<p>Is there any chance they would cede Crimea back at this point? Or, are there other conditions they would have to satisfy for the sanctions to be lifted. Because it seems they can do something too to lift the sanctions.<p>The last time I remember a statement by Rogozyn was when he said the hole in the space station was deliberately drilled from inside [1]. Presumably, blaming American or other astronauts. It seems like he is purposefully trying to provoke a conflict.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;amp&#x2F;s&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;science-environment-45423225.amp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;amp&#x2F;s&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;science-enviro...</a>
