Actually, it would appear the Russkies are diminishing cooperation on the ISS itself. FTFA:
"He also said Russia would reject a U.S. request to prolong the use of the International Space Station beyond 2020."
As a person who has only very recently discovered how intriguing the ISS can be, I had been hoping the Ukraine issue wouldn't affect the ISS. It's too bad, but then again, space is large and there are more players than just the U.S. and Russia. There is Japan and a large European (w/o Russia) contingent.
