In Russia, Western planes are falling apart
An Airbus A320-232 with the tail number YU-APH made its first flight on December 13, 2005. Since then, the aircraft has clocked millions of miles, flying routes for Air Deccan, Kingfisher Airlines, Bingo Airways, and Syphax Airlines before being taken over by Air Serbia, the Eastern European country’s national flag carrier, in 2014.

Don’t forget Russia has the only rocket capable to shuttle back and forth between the IS and the earth. If Russia decides to stop launching Soyouz then we may lose the IS. Also the rocket used to move back the IS onto its orbit is a Russian rocket specifically built for that purpose.
Putin has already brought back to Russia all the staff and the rockets used by the European Space Agency in Kourou in French Guyana.
Six launches had to be cancelled for 2022. Billion of dollars of contracts in jeopardy.
Don’t forget all the airline traffic from Europe to the Far East and S.E. Asia because flying over Russia is prohibited.
All this traffic has been captured by the countries of the BRICS.

Crew and cargo Dragon ships are capable of supplying the ISS and indeed a Russian cosmonaut will fly on their Crew-5 mission in September. Also NASA is evaluating Cygnus boosting the ISS though they are still working the bugs out, SpaceX could boost the ISS as well immediately with Dragon (perhaps with some mission modifications to reduce fuel use) and eventually with Starship as well.

Hopefully, no western company will ever lease or sell an aircraft, parts or service to Russia ever again, regardless of whether the war ends or sanctions are lifted. After what happened this time, why would they?
