The Russians also successfully launched another Soyuz capsule to the ISS with an American onboard. They keep going back and forth on Angara and it seems to move forward in development very slowly as other new rockets are announced and cancelled in rapid succession. They are inching toward the next flight of the Angara rocket which has been in development for ~30 years and was intended to replace the entire stable of Russian rockets at one point but now looks like it may be cancelled altogether. Russia also announced yet another rocket development program that looks like a methane-fueled Falcon 9 clone.
Russia has said they will participate in some Chinese-led lunar program that is so ill-defined as to be essentially vaporware at the moment. The announcement has widely been seen as an admission that Russia does not have the budget to support Artemis, particularly under the aggressive timeline that NASA is pushing for. Russia announced that at the moment they will not participate in Artemis as the head of Roscosmos declared it 'too US-centric', even though the multilateral agreements set up to enable Artemis are based on the agreements which lead to the ISS. NASA got 8 countries to sign the 'Artemis Accords' which are a framework governing behavior in lunar exploration. ESA has awarded contracts to support the Artemis program and a Mars sample return mission (both are in conjunction with NASA).
