The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to vote on a resolution sponsored by the United States and Japan urging all nations to prevent a dangerous nuclear arms race in outer space. The resolution, set for a vote on Wednesday, calls on countries to refrain from developing or deploying weapons of mass destruction, particularly nuclear arms, in space.
The U.S. Ambassador emphasized the unprecedented and unacceptable nature of placing nuclear weapons in orbit around the Earth. However, Russia has expressed skepticism, labeling the resolution as a political maneuver divorced from reality.
