I have been hearing reports that #Kazakhstan has seized #Roscosmos assets at #Baikonur #cosmodrome The only thing confirmed is the seizure. We don't know how much. Was the whole thing seized, or just buildings.

Baikonur belongs to Kazakhstan. It is leased to #russia who apparently has not been paying their bills.

This is huge. Baikonur is Russia's only spaceport. If they lose it, the blow will be huge.
