Russia is ready to pull its astronauts out of the International Space Station as the nation cuts ties with NASA and the European Space Agency.
Dmitry Rogozin, director of space corporation Roscosmos, told Russian state TV on Sunday that Moscow has made the decision to cease co-operation with its international partners on the ISS.
He declined to give a date but said the Russian space programme would abide by the stipulated year's notice period.
