No changes are planned to the agency\u2019s support for ongoing in orbit and ground station operations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When Biden initially announced his sanctions, many <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/two-russian-cosmonauts-remain-at-intl-space-station-and-biden-just-sanctioned-russias-space-program\"><span>speculated<\/span><\/a><span> that the measures could complicate relationships aboard the International Space Station, which functions as a joint effort among the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, and the European Space Agency. CNN space and defense correspondent Kristin Fisher, for instance, noted on Thursday that Biden offered \u201cno mention of the partnership at the International Space Station where 4 NASA astronauts, 2 Russian cosmonauts, &#038; 1 European astronaut are currently on board.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A report from the Associated Press from earlier this week said that experts do not foresee tensions on the ground affecting relationships aboard the space station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s possible to imagine a break with Russia that would endanger the space station, but that would be at the level of a dropping diplomatic relations,\u201d explained Scott Pace, who served as executive secretary of the space council under President Donald Trump. \u201cThat would be something that would be an utterly last resort so I don\u2019t really see that happening unless there is a wider military confrontation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Following Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, President Biden raised eyebrows by claiming that \u201cnobody expected\u201d the sanctions that his administration <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-on-russia-invading-ukraine-nobody-expected-the-sanctions-to-prevent-anything-from-happening\"><span>hoped<\/span><\/a><span> would deter Russian President Vladimir Putin would actually \u201cprevent anything from happening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cNo one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThis is going to take time and we have to show resolve so he knows what\u2019s coming and so the people of Russia know what he\u2019s brought on them. That\u2019s what this is all about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis is going to take time, it\u2019s not going to occur, he\u2019s going to say, \u2018Oh, my God, these sanctions are coming, I\u2019m going to stand down,\u201d Biden continued. \u201cHe\u2019s going to test the resolve of the West to see if we stay together. And we will, we will and it will impose significant costs on him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>President Biden also appeared to take <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/zelensky-appears-to-take-shot-at-biden-the-worlds-most-powerful-forces-are-watching-from-afar\"><span>criticism<\/span><\/a><span> from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over his previous sanction policies. \u201cThis morning we are defending our state alone. Like yesterday, the world\u2019s most powerful forces are watching from afar,\u201d he said. \u201cDid yesterday\u2019s sanctions convince Russia?
