Russia on Friday (January 31, 2025) condemned an order by U.S. President Donald Trump to build a new missile defence shield, saying it was designed to weaken Russian and Chinese nuclear deterrence.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia saw the move as confirmation of a U.S. intention to turn space into a theatre of military confrontation.
Trump signed an order on Monday for the implementation of a next-generation U.S. missile defense shield against ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missile and other forms of aerial attack.
