The UN Security Council rejected a draft resolution prepared by Russia calling on all countries to cease the deployment and use of any weapons in space. Out of the 15 Council members, seven voted in favor of the Russian draft, including China, Algeria, and Guyana. Another seven countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, voted against. Switzerland abstained from voting. A resolution is considered adopted if it receives nine votes from Security Council members and no veto from any of the permanent members. Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, stated that the rejection of Moscow's proposed resolution proves the US's intention to militarize space.
