WASHINGTON. Feb 16 (Interfax) - The United States hopes that Russia will not launch into space a system that is capable of disabling satellites and that exists in Russia, as the U.S. has come to learn, U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday.
"What we found out there was a capacity to launch a system into space that could theoretically do something that was damaging. Had not happened yet and my hope is it will not," Biden told a press conference.
"First of all, there is no nuclear threat to the people of America or anywhere else in the world with what Russia is doing at the moment. Number one. Number two, anything they are doing or they will do relates to satellites and space and damaging those satellites potentially," Biden said.
The U.S. does not have evidence of Russia having made a decision to develop such activity in space, he said.
