"US Issues Warning on Russian Nuclear Threat in Space"

TL;DR Summary
The United States has briefed Congress and European allies about new intelligence regarding Russian nuclear capabilities, specifically related to their attempts to develop a space-based weapon. While the capabilities do not pose an urgent threat to the US, Representative Mike Turner issued a cryptic warning about a "serious national security threat." The intelligence is related to Russia's efforts to develop a space-based anti-satellite nuclear weapon, but officials emphasize that it is not currently in orbit and should not cause panic. The Biden administration has arranged a briefing with congressional leaders to discuss the matter further.
