Russia unveils model of proposed new space station

Russia, in the throes of what some Kremlin hardliners believe is a historic rupture with the West sparked by sanctions imposed over what Moscow calls its “special military operation” in Ukraine, is rushing to reduce its dependency on Western nations and forge ahead on its own or cooperate with countries like China and Iran.
