Moscow is preparing an anti-satellite weapon. Russia is developing an anti-satellite weapon, the White House said, saying it was not “an immediate threat.” It was not “deployed,” said National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby. “While this activity by Russia is concerning, there is no immediate threat to anyone’s safety.” “We are not talking regarding a weapon that can be used to attack human beings or cause destruction on Earth,” he said.
