The following was posted by Roscosmos on July 5th. The title of the post is ' Lugansk People's Republic Liberation Day! Celebrate in Space on Earth' by Roscosmos astronauts Oleg Artemyev, Dennis Matveev, and Sergei Korsakov at the International Space Station ( A commemorative photo taken with the flags of the People's Republic of Lugansk and the People's Republic of Donetsk on the ISS) is also posted.
Regarding this post, foreign media Ars Technica said, 'Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the International Space Station operated by the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and the European Space Agency has been the most explicit Russian promotion to date. It was used for the purpose. '
Lugansk and Donetsk are quasi-states in eastern Ukraine, and Ukraine and Russia have been fighting over the two regions since 2014 as Russia led the separatists in Ukraine's territory. The United Nations does not recognize the two republics as countries, and Ukraine recognizes Lugansk and Donetsk as 'temporarily occupied territories.' The fighting between the two countries has intensified since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, claiming that Russia occupied the entire Luhansk region of Ukraine in the final week of June 2022.
Roscosmos has continued to work with NASA and other space agencies on the ISS since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began. U.S. officials argued that 'NASA should break its relationship with Roscosmos' after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but NASA goes beyond the conflicts that are occurring on Earth to cooperate in space. Insisted that it should continue . NASA also said that it would be difficult to separate the Russian section from within the ISS, and that a conflict with Russia would hinder the operation of the ISS itself.
NASA Secretary Bill Nelson said, 'In the midst of the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States were in a deadly hostile relationship, and nuclear weapons could be used at any time. I met in space in 1975. Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, peaceful cooperation in space continued, and American spacecraft sometimes docked with Russian space station Mir. The United States has decided to work with Russia to build an international space station. Both countries are necessary for operation, the Russians are the driving force, and the Americans are very specialized in keeping the station alive. We continue to maintain a strong cooperative relationship, 'he told German media Der Spiegel .
In response to Russia's anti-Ukraine activities on the ISS, Ars Technica said, 'Roscosmos brought the bloody conflict on Earth into space.' It is unacceptable to use. '
