(Moscow Composite Television) People familiar with the matter revealed that the United States has informed the allies that Russia may first deploy nuclear weapons or simulation warheads to space this year.However, Russia has denied such a plan and said that the United States wants to scare parliamentarians to urge the United States to approve military aid Ukraine.
U.S. media reported earlier that the Space nuclear weapons developed by Russia can cause a large number of commercial and government satellites to paralyze through huge energy waves during explosion, and then interfere with communication services dependent on satellites.
Bloomberg News On Tuesday (February 20), it further quoted people familiar with the matter that Russia may deploy this space nuclear weapon this year.People familiar with the matter said that the current evaluation is that Russia does not intend to detonate rail weapons, but does not rule out the risk of accidents.
Russian President Putin refuted the US allegations in the live talks on Tuesday.Putin said: "Our position is clear and transparent: we used to firmly oppose the deployment of nuclear weapons in space ... We not only called on all parties to abide by all the agreements in this field, but also repeatedly proposed to strengthen this cooperation project."
He also added that Russia's space activities are not different from other countries, including the United States.
Shaygu also denied Russia's development of space weapons in space.He said: "First of all, there is no such plan -space nuclear weapon. Second, the United States knows that this statement is purely fiction."
He said that the White House tried to use the so -called Russian space weapons to scare parliamentarians and promote Congress to assist Ukraine to resist the Russian army to issue more funds.He said that another purpose of the United States is to encourage Russia to recover and talk to strategic stability.
The United States and Russia established a strategic stability dialogue mechanism in June 2021. However, after Russia launched military operations against Ukraine in February 2022, the US -Russian strategic stable dialogue fell into stagnation.
Putin said that Russia never opposes the stability of the discussion, but this discussion is impossible to separate the intention of defeating Russia in the West."If they try to defeat us strategically, then we must think about what strategy is stable to our country. We do not refuse anything or give up anything, but we need to figure out what they want. They usually want to get unilaterally.The advantage, this is impossible. "
