NASA astronauts who were stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months due to a technical malfunction of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft have flown back to Earth. This was reported by the NASA press service, writes RBC.
The SpaceX Crew-9 spacecraft with a crew of American NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, as well as Russian cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov, successfully undocked from the ISS.

The Soyuz MS-27 mission marks the extension of the Russian ISS shifts from around six months to roughly eight months in order to cut the number of Soyuz vehicles flying to the station from two per year to 1.5 annually.

Sounds like it the end is near. Well, it was planned to happen anyway.
But it also means once more, that any plans of Russia to decouple their modules from the station and make their own station are doomed to fail. They need new modules.
And since there won't be much funding for keeping the ISS alive and it being too expensive for commercial spaceflight, its time for a new station in brown waters / LEO.

Zvezda is a ticking time bomb at this point. Flashes back to what happened to Spektr in 1997 without collisions happening

What happened?
There was an article on CNN about this leak, if I'm honest, I didn't realise the leak was still ongoing or as long as has been reported.
Naturally they are cautious on what to do, but neither side are agreeing on what to do.
I guess it will just be left that way. Shame it can't be jettisoned.
