Russia Vetoes UN Vote to Ban Arms in Space, Raising Fears of Space Warfare | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The United States and Japan's proposal to ban nuclear weapons in space was shot down by Russia at the UN Security Council. Moscow vetoed the resolution, accusing the West of putting up a "dirty spectacle". This comes amidst growing fears of space warfare. Western Intelligence reports have accused Russia of planning to deploy nuclear weapons in space. However, Moscow has denied these claims. Experts warn that a space arms race could be devastating. A single attack with a nuclear weapon could cripple entire network systems, leaving countries vulnerable.
Russia has already demonstrated its willingness to use cyberattacks to disrupt communication networks, as seen in its attack on Ukraine before the invasion. Moscow is also suspected of testing tools to sabotage Starlink, a satellite internet service heavily relied upon by Ukrainian forces. With tensions already high, the possibility of weapons in space poses a serious threat to global security. Palki Sharma tells you more.
