WASHINGTON, April 03. /ITAR-TASS/. The US has suspended space cooperation with Russia. Ongoing activity on the International Space Station (ISS) is not affected by this decision.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said on Wednesday that such a decision was taken over the current crisis in Ukraine.

According to a NASA’s memo, “ongoing violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity” prompted the agency to halt contacts with Russia.
