“In this case, Russia's secret services turned to criminal groups to help them target home and office routers, but the Justice Department thwarted their plan,” the statement added.

It is recalled that yesterday, Wednesday, the security committee of the White House spoke about threat to US national security, behind which, Russia is located.

According to the American network ABC News two sources familiar with the Capitol deliberations said the intelligence involved Russians who they want to send a nuclear weapon into space. This is not to drop a nuclear weapon on Earth, but rather to potentially use it against satellites.
