He made a corresponding statement following the message of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly.
“If you are talking about the West, then they have said a lot of different stupid things lately.
I think it’s like this for them: I got up in the morning, looked - why would I blurt out something like that today?
Now about the placement of nuclear weapons in space, now a threat to this, now to that,” TASS quotes him as saying.
At the same time, he added that the Russian side is very consistent and clearly says that it has weapons that not only pose a threat to its opponents, it initially says “that it’s better not to mess with us.”
Earlier, Putin called accusations against Russia about its intentions to allegedly place nuclear weapons in space a hoax and a ruse.
