Roscosmos shared a statement about the situation with leaks in #SoyuzMS22 and #ProgressMS21, the planned activities, and about the affection of this situation on the future crewed flights: roscosmos.ru/38973/. I made a quick summary for you, as usual. ⤵️ 
1. About the leak in #SoyuzMS22: it was caused by a micrometeorite of the Geminids. The version of the manufacturing defect was carefully considered and didn’t find confirmation.
2. According to the results of the ground experiment, the possibility of a radiator hit by space debris is considered unlikely, taking into account the direction of movement and the particle's speed, as well as the absence of possible candidates in space debris catalogs.
