NATO: Russia strongly condemns ‘reckless and irresponsible’ anti-satellite weapons test

The North Atlantic Council “strongly” condemned the “reckless and irresponsible” missile test of the Russian Federation against a satellite on November 15.

“Russia’s actions demonstrate a pattern of irresponsible behavior and jeopardize the security, economic, scientific and commercial interests of all nations and actors seeking to explore and use space for peaceful purposes,” he said in a statement.

“This dangerous behavior is in direct contradiction to Russia’s claims that it opposes the ‘militarization’ of space and undermines the rule-based international order.”

“NATO Allies remain committed to protecting and maintaining peaceful access and space exploration for all humanity. We call on all nations, including Russia, to participate in international efforts to develop rules and principles of responsible conduct in order to “threaten space and to refrain from conducting dangerous and irresponsible catastrophic tests such as those carried out by the Russian Federation,” the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said in a statement.
