This comes after recent media reports, citing U.S. intelligence, suggested Russia might be developing such weaponry. Putin, however, emphasized that these claims are solely aimed at pressuring Russia into negotiations on unfavorable terms.

He further reiterated that Russia has no plans to weaponize space and has previously addressed similar accusations. (ILKHA)
