Russia on Tuesday accused the United States of seeking to deploy weapons in space, a day after the U.N. Security Council rejected a Russian draft resolution on the matter and after similar accusations from Washington.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that after Washington and its allies rejected the Russian draft resolution, the United States demonstrated that it seeks to “place weapons in outer space and make it an arena for military confrontation.”

“The results of the vote on the draft resolution on the prevention of an arms race in outer space and space security submitted by Russia, with the participation of China, to the UN Security Council for its consideration are disappointing,” Zakharova said.

"The United States and its allies, despite all the steps we have taken to take into account their proposals, including the developments of the corresponding US-Japan draft resolution, opposed our constructive and comprehensive initiative and once again demonstrated the real priorities in the field of space, which are not aimed at keeping space free of weapons of any kind, but at deploying weapons in outer space and turning it into an arena for military confrontation," Zakharova noted.

Zakharova stressed that Russia will continue to contribute consistently to keeping space free of weapons of any kind and preventing it from turning into another zone of tension, armament and confrontation.

The head of the Republican Coalition Party, Ezz El-Din Aqeel, accused the United States of controlling the UN mission in Libya, explaining that the movements of Washington and the European Union contributed to the existence of two Libyan governments.

🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾

Aqeel explained that these moves led to the Libyan government headed by Osama Hammad being stripped of its legitimacy and equality between it and the outgoing national unity government headed by Abdul Hamid Al-Dbeibeh.

Aqeel pointed out that international movements do not recognize the existence of a de facto authority, which weakens the ability of the Libyan parties to resist illegal immigration and control the borders and threatens the stability of the entire region.

Ukrainian soldiers report that continued Russian attacks on the strategically important eastern city of Chasev Yar are hampering the rotation of Ukrainian forces and the delivery of supplies.

These attacks come as part of the Russian army’s efforts to take advantage of its numerical and armament superiority before the arrival of new Western reinforcements to the Ukrainian forces, which have already begun to flow to the front lines.

Chasev Yar, which is located west of the city of Bakhmut, is considered a strategic location due to its high location and is now the focus of fierce battles between the Russian army and Ukrainian forces.

Last year, the Russian army took control of the city of Bakhmut after a 10-month battle.
