In Ukraine, scientists are pressuring nations to freeze Russia out of their science programmes, and calling on Russian institutes and scientific leaders to condemn the invasion.

“There should be a complete boycott of the Russian academic community. No cooperation,” says Maksym Strikha, a physicist at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, who is in the centre of the Ukrainian capital and said the frontline was 30 kilometres away. That includes barring Russian-authored articles from Western journals and banning researchers with Russian affiliations from international research teams, he says. “The Russian academic community should also pay its own price for supporting [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”

Does “no cooperation” here means the fact that (Russia’s scientific community does) not Cooperate with the international scientific community”?
 
No. It means that non-Russian academic communities should not cooperate in any way with the Russian academic community.
 
It's an oddly punctuated paragraph IMO.

It certainly doesn't result in two grammatical sentences but I don't think it's odd as spoken English.

I'm going on a diet tomorrow. No bread!
I don't want anything sweet at the party. No cakes!
Don't interrupt the teacher during class. No talking.
 
I would give the second one an exclamation mark, thus:

No cooperation!
