There are currently no air leaks in the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS). This was stated at a press conference in Houston by Dana Weigel, who oversees NASA's low Earth orbit programs.

Roscosmos specialists carried out repair work, which allowed the leak site to be sealed. The installation of patches helped with this, Weigel emphasized.

In early June, NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens announced that the agency had instructed astronauts aboard the ISS to move to the Dragon spacecraft as a precaution due to repair work on the Russian Zvezda module.

At the same time, Roscosmos reported the detection of two potential air leaks in the Zvezda module of the Russian ISS segment when pressurizing the module's transfer chamber compartment to ISS pressure. It was noted that the safety of the crew and the station's onboard systems were not threatened.

The situation remained under the control of both agencies: joint work by Roscosmos and NASA reduced the leak intensity tenfold, but did not eliminate it completely. In June 2025, after installing patches and sealing the transfer chamber, tests recorded a complete cessation of air loss – for the first time since the malfunction was detected.
