According to a statement published by the Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday, Moscow prioritized peaceful exploration and use of outer space. Commenting on the US draft defense budget, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that a military confrontation in space may be as dangerous as the nuclear arms race.

On Thursday, the US House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019, which stipulates the development of "persistent space-based sensor architecture" by the end of 2022. The Senate is expected to pass the bill next week. Source: Sputnik News
