The Pentagon has accused Russia of launching a counter-space weapon into low Earth orbit, which is believed to be capable of attacking other satellites. The satellite, launched on May 16, is reportedly in the same orbit as a U.S. government satellite. U.S. intelligence officials and the Department of Defense have expressed concerns over the militarization of space, highlighting the potential threat posed by this development. Robert Wood, the Alternate Representative of the US for Special Political Affairs in the UN, labeled Russia's actions as a violation of space security. The UN Security Council has been involved in discussions regarding this issue. Russia has denied these accusations, with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov dismissing them as fake news and asserting that Moscow will not react to such speculation. The situation has intensified discussions on space security and the potential for an arms race in space.
