Addressing the U.N.’s Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Yleem D.S. Poblete said, Russia’s pursuit of counter space capabilities is malign behavior.
Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has said Moscow is ready to discuss its newest strategic weapons with the United States even though they are not part of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces arms control treaty.
