“It’s clear that the White House is trying, by bluff or deception, to encourage Congress to pass a spending bill, that much is clear,” the Kremlin spokesman said.
Russia on Thursday dismissed US warnings about new Russian nuclear capabilities it has developed in space, calling them a “malicious fabrication” and a White House ploy to get US lawmakers to approve more money to counter Moscow. .
The United States briefed Congress and allies in Europe on new information about Russian nuclear capabilities that could pose an international threat, a source briefed on the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.
The new capabilities, related to Russian efforts to develop a space weapon, do not pose an immediate threat to the United States, the same source said.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he would not comment on the substance of the reports until the details are revealed by the White House. But he said Washington’s warning was clearly an attempt to get Congress to approve more money.
“It is obvious that the White House is trying, by trickery or deception, to encourage Congress to pass a bill for the appropriation of money, that is obvious,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to TASS.
“We will see what tricks the White House will use,” Peskov said.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, Moscow’s head of arms control, accused the United States of “malicious construction”, TASS reported.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sparked the biggest conflict between the West and Russia since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Both Moscow and Washington have warned of the risk of conflict between NATO and Russia.
