A transcript of the conversation between Putin and Borisov was published on the Kremlin website.
Borisov noted that preparations for a new mission to the ISS have entered the final stage.
According to him, “literally now all complex tests for crew training are being completed.”
“Crew of three.
A cosmonaut from our fraternal Republic of Belarus, Marina Vasilevskaya, who was selected from six applicants back in December 2022, began training in August last year.
I’ve completed it, passed all the exams, and I’m ready to fly,” said the general director of Roscosmos.
It is expected that on March 21, the cosmonauts will be delivered to the ISS on the Soyuz-25 spacecraft.
In February, the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle with the Progress MS-26 transport cargo ship launched from site number 31 of the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
