"Russian Nuclear Threat in Space Sparks U.S. National Security Concerns"

The Kremlin has dismissed the United States' warning about Russia's new nuclear capabilities in space as a "malicious fabrication" and a ploy to secure more funding. The U.S. has informed Congress and European allies about Russian attempts to develop a space-based weapon, but Moscow has labeled the claims as fabrications. Tensions between the two nations have escalated, with both sides warning of the risk of conflict. The reported Russian space-based, anti-satellite nuclear weapon has raised concerns, as the U.S. lacks the capability to counter such a weapon.
