I'm from Russia and I don't believe any word they say.
They plan to go to the Moon, to the Mars etc. The were planning planning and planning all the time.
While SpaceX just show results

To be fair, I also plan to go to the gym, so I understand their struggle.
"if putin decides"
"not permanently crewed"
"artificial intelligence and robots" buzzword compliant!
"Russia planned to spend up to $6 billion"
hahahaha, NASA spends 4 billion PER YEAR, to keep the current station running. While i'm sure there's some waste there I don't think it's reasonable to design build launch and run a new station with anywhere near the scale of the ISS for anywhere near $6 billion.
Actually though I think ISS puts a limit on US ability to exclude Russia. US can't exclude Russia from space cooperation like it has done with China as long as ISS continues. If Russia quits ISS and teams up with China instead, US may start treating Russia similarly to how it treats China now.
