Putin: Russia does not plan to deploy nuclear weapons in space

Russian news agencies quoted President Vladimir Putin as telling the Russian Security Council on Friday that Moscow does not plan to deploy nuclear weapons in space and that addressing threats in space should always be a priority for the country.

Sources in the United States say Russia is developing an anti-satellite nuclear weapon to be deployed in space, but Putin said he opposes the deployment of nuclear weapons in space, and Moscow firmly denies US allegations.
