'What are you hiding': US pushes Russia on vetoed nuclear weapons in space resolution

Russia has vetoed a UN resolution to stop the development and deployment of nuclear weapons in space.

The draft proposals called on all states with “major space capabilities” to “contribute to the objective” of preventing an arms race in outer space.

A total of 13 of the council’s 15 members voted in favour, with Russia - one of five permanent members with a veto - voting against and China abstaining.

How about.... No nuclear weapons on earth. That might be a very good place to start.

This video is misleading. Russia and China have proposed to ban all weapons but the US vetoed that one 😂😂😂😂

[jeancarlosrodriguez]

Propaganda;
Russia and China proposed to ban weapons of ANY kind and the U.S. and 7 other countries voted against that.

Painting Russia as the bad guy here is hypocritical

[alexandrnoskov]

I like the Russian proposal much better. Only a complete ban on the development of weapons of all types for space.

[dopeboydtp]

why they cut off next part of his speech lmao

[dimas]

Becouse Russia stands for space without any weapons not only nuclear, but USA and Nato don't want that.

A total of 13 of the council’s 15 members voted in favour, with Russia - one of five permanent members with a veto - voting against and China abstaining. but they just say Russia in the headline.

A good moment to remind, that the USSR and later Russia several times proposed to abolish nuclear weapons at all. And guess, who was against?

[tscheburaschka]

That’s not completely correct. Russia wants a resolution which prohibits all kinds of weapons in space. But the US do not want this. Why?

[js]

Russia should have just responded with: "F around and find out".
Russia said clearly that they want ban on all weapons, not just nuclear in space. Cutting out what Russia said in full is something Telegraph is used to doing. Weak propaganda.

[unowno]

Its a pointless vote because ICBMs do what they do

[avex]

russia has all the right to defend itself 🤍💙❤

[Hiptoys]

Since when does the US follow resolutions? What did they say, there are not binding?

[John-huqg]

Why should they?, due to 8000 sanctions against the Russian Federation, and Western interference in Ukraine, all bets are off in relation to Nuclear weapons, technology transfers, Nuclear testing, renewal of the START treaties etc.

[joyrama]

Russia is correct
this resolution already there since the 50's

[johndcosta]

I think the U.S. thinks that Russia will have S -600 that will be on space stations and could make the U.S. strategic missiles almost useless.

[der]

Russia will veto everything, even own veto :)

[Kratatch]

How about not giving any country a veto on any matter?

[NF-wekp]

The question is would the US have nuclear weapons in space even with a UN resolution in place.

[KamranShaukat-xp]

Alsoo show when russia. Explains why they vetoed the basically russia proposed that there shall be no weapons in space and the US vetoed it now the US proposed that there shall be ban on specific kinds of weapons that are already baanned in a treaty held in 1960s
