Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that the United States is actively working to deploy weapons in space.
"The United States is actively pursuing a policy of arming space and deploying weapons in space," Lavrov said at a press conference concluding Russia's diplomatic activities in 2025.
According to the minister, when Russia tries to mobilize the world community at the UN to make decisions against the placement of weapons in space, the United States refuses to support such an initiative and instead offers to support the initiative against the placement of nuclear weapons in space.
"We say: "Please, for God's sake, the only threats to space are created by the US's planned deployment of non-nuclear weapons."
We suggest that they accept an agreement that no weapons will be deployed in space. They say: "No, we can only oppose the deployment of nuclear weapons," Lavrov said.
"This means that non-nuclear weapons will be deployed there in accordance with US plans," the minister concluded.
