Both RU and USA are signatories to https://treaties.unoda.org/t/outer_space https://treaties.unoda.org/t/outer_space

The critical sentences being (according to Wiki) from Articles 1 and 2:
"The exploration and use of outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development, and shall be the province of all mankind."
"Outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means."
