Russia warns US space weapons deployment could escalate tensions, citing alternative treaty proposal

Dmitry Stefanovich, identified as a Russian expert, stated that deploying weapons in space would provoke both political and technical reactions, according to TASS. Stefanovich recalled that Russia and China have jointly proposed a draft treaty aimed at preventing weapon deployment in orbit.
