Arrr, Russia's Kremlin be denyin' US claims 'bout Moscow launchin' anti-satellite weapon into th' heavens. Blimey!

In a comical twist fit for a 17th-century pirate's tale, Russia's top arms control diplomat swatted away the United States' claims of launching a space weapon capable of attacking satellites as "fake news." The Kremlin staunchly denied U.S. allegations of developing an anti-satellite nuclear weapon, but U.S. Space Command alleged that Russia had indeed deployed such a weapon.The U.S. cited a recent Soyuz rocket launch from Russia as evidence, but Russia's defense ministry remained tight-lipped about the spacecraft's purpose. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov dismissed Washington's claims as mere fabrications, reaffirming Moscow's opposition to placing strike weapons in low Earth orbit.Despite U.S. intelligence agencies' anticipation of the Russian military spacecraft COSMOS 2576 launch, it has not approached any American satellite as of yet. Ryabkov emphasized that Russia's space program is proceeding as planned, including efforts to bolster defense capabilities.He criticized the U.S. for disregarding Russian proposals for enhancing space security and developing a treaty to prevent an arms race in space, showcasing a humorous rebuttal to the escalating tensions between the two superpowers.
