UNO: Russia vetoed a resolution presented by the US and Japan in the UN Security Committee to stop a nuclear arms race in outer space.
When this proposal was presented in the United Nations Security Council meeting on Wednesday, Russia's representative Vesibi Nebenzia vetoed the proposal, calling it meaningless and politically motivated. He said that it is really important that all weapons of mass destruction be mentioned in that resolution.
In this 15-member Security Committee, 13 members supported the said proposal and did not vote, while Russia opposed it.
US Ambassador Thomas Greenfield said that after this vote, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia actually has no intention of putting nuclear weapons in space.
In this proposal, all the countries referred to the international agreements of 1967. According to this, keeping any weapon or nuclear weapon in space has been banned. However, Russia's use of the veto raises many questions. The main question is why? For what reason if you are following those rules then why not support those rules, this Tharva confirms those rules. You are hiding something. This is mind boggling. US Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield said.
Putin said that Russia has no plans to put nuclear weapons in space.
In fact, the White House had accused Russia that Russia has acquired anti-satellite capability. However, he has not activated those weapons yet. In response to this Putin said the above things.
Regarding nuclear weapons, Russia and China introduced amendments to the US and Japan draft and said that we request not only to ban weapons of mass destruction in space but also to ban all types of weapons in space. Are. We also want to remind that the US and its allies planned to launch weapons into space some time ago. (It is a different matter that it has not been implemented.)
