NASA, Roscosmos, and International Space Station Cooperation
NASA announced a suspension of most contacts with the Russian Federation due to the situation in Ukraine, though cooperation on the International Space Station will continue. An internal NASA email reveals that travel, teleconferences, and even emails with Russian government representatives are prohibited unless specifically exempted. The hosts suggest the move is a political maneuver to secure more funding for domestic private space firms like Elon Musk's SpaceX.
