Kremlin Defends Space Actions Amid U.S. Allegations

The Kremlin asserted that Russia's activities in space comply with international law in response to U.S. allegations of a weapon launch. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov highlighted Russia's proposals for a space weapon ban, which Washington has dismissed.

The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia's actions in space conformed to international law after Washington alleged that Moscow had launched a weapon into low-Earth orbit.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also noted that Russia had repeatedly proposed a ban on any weapons in space and that Washington had dismissed its suggestions on the subject.
