OREANDA-NEWS  The West does not want to see Russia as a participant in lunar exploration. This was stated at the "Royal Readings" by the General director of Roscosmos, Yuri Borisov.

According to the head of the state corporation, major projects like the International Scientific Lunar Station (ISS) should be implemented through the joint efforts of space powers.

"We proceed from the fact that such large research projects should serve as the basis for international cooperation in space. Such projects are financially costly, they cooperate all over the world. Unfortunately, colleagues from the USA and Europe do not really want to see us as partners, but there are other countries besides them," Borisov said.
