Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov on Wednesday denied a U.S. assertion that Russia has launched an anti-satellite weapon, APA reports citing foreign media.
Ryabkov said Moscow opposed the deployment of weapons in orbit, the TASS and Interfax news agencies reported.
Ryabkov said Russia was still complying with quantitative restrictions on nuclear weapons set out by the New START treaty between Moscow and Washington.
The Pentagon announced a day ago that Russia launched a satellite capable of attacking other satellites.
