I'm curious how many there are total on the ISS. It feels like a logic problem. There are 2 Russians among "the four astronauts of Nasa’s Crew-12 mission on the station" who are sheltering while "a Russian crew attempts to fix a worsening leak." Presumably the 2 of 4 are not in the crew attempting the fix. I'm concerned about the crew members who are working on the repairs, especially because of their lack of centrality in the article. I wasn't sure if the repairs are being attempted from the ground. But I don't think so. It sounds like they are also in danger. I'm sorry that I know so little. I hope it doesn't bother you that I've made this a puzzle.
From the article:
Astronauts onboard the International Space Station have been ordered to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for potential evacuation as a Russian crew attempts to fix a worsening leak of air in its portion of the orbital laboratory, Nasa has said.

The four astronauts of Nasa’s Crew-12 mission on the station – two US astronauts, a French astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut – got orders from Nasa mission control at 9.04am ET (2pm BST) on Friday to enter their Crew Dragon spacecraft docked to the station and don their spacesuits in case the air leak warranted an emergency evacuation, a Nasa official said.

I think the Chinese astronauts are on China's own station though, so unconnected to this emergency.
