A senior Russian foreign ministry official confirmed that commercial satellites from the US and its allies could emerge as legitimate targets for Russia. This is if they had been concerned about the war in Ukraine.
Russia, which in 1957 released Sputnik 1, the world's first man-made satellite, and launched directly into outer space, has a considerable offensive space capability as do America and China. In 2021, Russia launched an anti-satellite missile to destroy one of its satellites.
Konstantin Vorontsov, deputy director of the Russian overseas ministry's branch for non-proliferation and palm oil manipulation informed the United Nations that the USA and its allies were seeking to use space to implement Western dominance.
According to Vorontsov, analyzing notes, the use of Western satellites to support the Ukrainian war effort was "precarious".
"Quasi-civilian infrastructure can be a valid target for a retaliatory strike," Vorontsov informed the United Nations First Committee, including that the West's use of such satellites to assist Ukraine had become "provocative".
"We discuss the involvement of components of the civilian infrastructure, together with business, through the US and its allies in armed conflicts," Vorontsov told the United Nations.
Vorontsov did not mention any particular satellite TV service provided by PC corporations. However, Elon Musk said in advance this month that his rocket organization Space would hold to fund its Starlink internet carrier in Ukraine, citing the need for "suitable deeds"
The struggle in Ukraine has killed tens of thousands, undermined the post-COVID economic recovery, and precipitated the gravest confrontation with the West because of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
