They can go to Russia like they did for 10 years after the Shuttle retired.

Probably not as much as you'd expect. Launches are out of Kazakhstan. Russia still sends cosmonauts to fly on dragon. This remains probably the most robust point of diplomatic contact between the two countries, especially since rogozin allegedly lost his penis (not a joke -- the anti USA rhetoric of roscosmos has decreased since he departed? from his post). I wouldn't be surprised if musk is instructed to at least publically not be too pro-ukraine to preserve this line of communication (I also wouldn't be surprised if musk is just being dumb).

Edit: ok this is slightly incorrect, rogozin was dismissed from roscosmos and then he got injured on the front, not the other order around
