Commenting on TASS rumors that speak of Russia’s intention to “place nuclear weapons in space,” Ryabkov noted that the Foreign Ministry had seen these messages.
“This fits into the trend of the last decade, when Americans are engaged in malicious writing and attribute to us various kinds of actions or intentions that do not suit them,” the agency’s interlocutor emphasized.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov spoke on the topic of these rumors. He called them a US ploy.
