Russia Warns of Increasing Militarization in Space

Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, expressed concerns on March 25 about the growing risk of space becoming a stage for military confrontation. According to Jin10, Zakharova highlighted during a routine press conference that recent U.S. policies in space development and security have become increasingly aggressive. U.S. officials have openly declared their intention to maintain military dominance in near-Earth space, supporting Russia's assessment that the space security situation is rapidly deteriorating. Zakharova emphasized that any armed conflict in space would have catastrophic consequences for sustainable space activities and development prospects for all nations.
