This is the best summary I could come up with:
SpaceX and Soyuz serve as different options to reach the International Space Station.
NASA and Russia have agreed to keep launching American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts on each other’s spacecraft, media reports suggest.
Roscosmos announced both it and NASA will continue the International Space Station launches with each other’s crew members through at least 2025, “to maintain the reliability of the ISS as a whole,” according to multiple reports including the Moscow Times.
Right now the manifest includes SpaceX Dragon for NASA missions, and Soyuz for Russia.
Russia will remain until 2028 or so, based on the most recent reports; the country is working on a different set of space plans in the future.
Though NASA and Russia are the chief ISS partners alongside the European Space Agency, Japan and Canada, relations changed in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine to the condemnation of most of the world.
