Russia will leave the International Space Station after its current commitment expires at the end of 2024

Recommended Posts

“The decision to leave the station after 2024 has been made,” said Yuri Borisov, who was appointed this month to run Roscosmos, a state-controlled corporation in charge of the country’s space program.

The pronouncement came during a meeting between Mr. Borisov and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Borisov told Mr. Putin that Russia would fulfill its commitments through 2024. “I think that by this time we will begin to form the Russian orbital station,” he said."

Likely just Putin bluster. I'd say good riddance. Perhaps China will let cosmonauts visit their station.
