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.
Moscow’s space project ‘unfounded’. Russia on Thursday deemed American reports of Moscow’s plan to place nuclear weapons in space as “unfounded”, citing a “ruse” by Washington to get aid to Ukraine approved. “We constantly repeat that we will not respond in any way to the various unfounded accusations. If they make statements, they should at least accompany them with evidence,” said Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
