Been in repairs since 2018, and they already know they can't defend it from attacks so it's likely not worth anything to keep investing into it.
It was built in what is now Ukraine, and even the shipyard shut down back in 2021.
Anyone with advanced hypersonic missiles may very well be able to take carriers out of commission fairly easily now. China claims they can possibly strip them of their outer coatings with a laser and maybe get them out of the air, but thr U.S. has played it close to the chest as far as I know and not given any info on their resources of taking them down, they just say you can't.
What is now Ukraine also used to be Ukraine when the boat was built. It was the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, one of many republics in the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics.
