“Now the safe use of the ISS is carried out thanks to the cooperation of five participants, including Russia.
Our country will continue to monitor and evaluate the entire complex of the situation and will make efforts to safely use the ISS, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying during a press conference.
Kihara noted that in the event of withdrawal from the ISS project, in accordance with the agreement on cooperation at the space station, a notification from the American side about this should be received.
