In the latest chapter of geopolitical tension, the United States has leveled a grave accusation against Russia, alleging plans to test space-based nuclear weapons by year's end. Despite Russia's denial, the U.S. expresses deep concerns over potential catastrophic outcomes, fearing the accidental destruction of over 30% of global satellites. Russian President Vladimir Putin vehemently rejects these claims, emphasizing Russia's disinterest in space-based nuclear endeavors. The Kremlin echoes Putin's stance, dismissing the accusations as a ploy by the White House to sway U.S. politicians into supporting an aid package for Ukraine. Amidst rising international scrutiny, the world watches anxiously as space becomes the new frontier of geopolitical brinkmanship.
