Russia vetoes UN resolution calling to prevent nuclear arms race in outer space

On Wednesday, Russia vetoed a U.N. resolution, co-sponsored by the United States and Japan, urging nations to prevent a nuclear arms race in space. Russia criticized it as biased, singling out nuclear weapons while ignoring other armaments. The Security Council vote saw 13 in favor, Russia against, and China abstaining. The resolution aimed to prohibit the development or deployment of nuclear weapons and other mass destruction arms in space, in line with a 1967 treaty involving the U.S. and Russia, and stressed the importance of verification for compliance.
