The Americans are expected to have two crewed spacecraft models in about a year, uncrewed testing should start early next year. Currently only Soyuz can bring crew up there and back. To have a Russian and an American on each crewed flight is reasonable, since they're responsible for respective parts of the ISS.

The Soyuz flights support three, the ISS isn't only supported by Russia and the US alone, so the third seat varies in nationality a lot.
The new American crew spaceships support up to six seats, but I don't think the ISS has capacity for more than six and they're not replacing the whole crew in an instant.

I read it as an exclusive thing, Russians flying on the American rocket and vice versa, but i guess there's more than two people on a flight.
