Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, sending tanks, artillery and some 200,000 soldiers into the country. As Ukrainians fought back, the United States and its allies adopted deep-reaching sanctions. Co-operation between Russia and Western states stopped abruptly, including in the UN Security Council where Russia holds a veto. Vladimir Putin went so far as to threaten the use of nuclear weapons if third states interfered in his ‘special military operation.
With these realities in mind, on 25 February 2022—just one day after Rogozin’s threatening tweet—Russia quietly conducted a pre-scheduled boost: to raise the orbit of the ISS, not crash it into the ocean. The following week, Vande Hei made a pre-scheduled return to Earth in a Soyuz capsule, landing in Kazakhstan, before being whisked off in a NASA aircraft back to the United States.
