Despite the increased tensions, NASA and Roscosmos agreed earlier this month for astronauts to continue riding Russian rockets and Russian cosmonauts to begin catching lifts to the ISS with SpaceX in the autumn.
Russia has announced that it will leave the International Space Station (ISS) after 2024 to focus on developing its own orbital outpost.
During a meeting with President Vladimir Putin earlier this month, Yuri Borisov, who was appointed to lead the state-controlled space corporation Roscosmos, stated that Russia would fulfill its obligations to other partners before leaving the project.
According to Mr Borisov, "the decision to leave the station after 2024 has been made."
It comes as tensions between Russia and the West over the Ukraine conflict remain high.
Mr Borisov's predecessor, Dmitry Rogozin, announced in April that Russia would suspend ISS cooperation in response to sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
He claimed the sanctions were intended to "kill the Russian economy, plunge our people into despair and hunger, and bring our country to its knees," and that normal relations could only be restored if the "illegal" measures were lifted unconditionally.
According to NASA and Russian officials, the agreement ensures that the space station will always have at least one American and one Russian on board to keep both sides of the orbiting outpost running smoothly.
NASA published plans for the ISS earlier this year, which would see the 444,615kg structure removed from orbit in January 2031 and crash into a "spacecraft cemetery."
It stated that the laboratory would remain operational until 2030, but that its long-term viability is questionable.
