Sergei Ryabkov called the US accusations that Russia plans to deploy weapons with a nuclear component in space “absurd”.
There is no “progress” between Russia and the United States in contacts on the subject of space, because the Americans seem to allow the “rain” of information. Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov said this on Saturday, February 24.
“I can only say one thing on this topic: Americans continue to allow “rainfall” on issues that we agreed to keep confidential. Discussing this topic with us, they themselves miss all this, “he said , without specifying the details.
Ryabkov called the US accusations that Russia plans to deploy nuclear weapons in space “absurd”, therefore “there is and cannot be any progress on this topic (space – ed .).
“The Americans are pursuing the sole goal of demonizing Russia by making such accusations. Therefore, engagement on this issue is completely counterproductive,” summed up the deputy head of the Russian Foreign Ministry .
Let’s remember that a week ago the US presidential administration confirmed the information that Russia is developing anti-satellite weapons. White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said the weapons do not pose an immediate threat.
Analysts say the space-based weapon that Russia may be developing is more likely to be a nuclear device to blind, jam or burn out the electronics inside satellites, rather than an explosive nuclear warhead to destroy them. .
