Russian officials have rejected all media reports claiming Moscow was going to deploy elements of space control or anti-ballistic missile systems in its embassies abroad.

According to the Defence Ministry spokesman, Vyacheslav Sedov, this is misinterpretation of information concerning the development of such systems.“No space control or anti-ballistic defence system have ever been stationed or will ever be stationed in Russian embassies abroad, which is definitely against international law,” he stated.
