“There is no nuclear threat to the people of America or anywhere else in the world with what Russia is doing at the moment,” Biden told reporters. Kirby added that while Russia's development of this particular capability is concerning, it does not pose an immediate threat to anyone's safety. Earlier today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Washington had not yet contacted Moscow about proposals for joint work on anti-satellite weapons, but Russia is ready to work if such initiatives come up. Peskov noted that so far there have been no such requests.

Biden: No Nuclear Threat to Americans From Russia’s Anti-Satellite Capability
18:11 GMT 16.02.2024 (Updated: 18:54 GMT 16.02.2024) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Russian anti-satellite technology does not pose any nuclear threat to Americans or anyone else in the world, US President Joe Biden said on Friday.
“There is no nuclear threat to the people of America or anywhere else in the world with what Russia is doing at the moment,” Biden told reporters.
“Anything that they [Russians] are doing and or they will do relates to satellites in space and damaging those satellites, potentially,” he added.
On Thursday, US Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said that the White House confirmed that the national security threat stems from Russia's ongoing development of anti-satellite capabilities. Later, US President Joe Biden instructed his team to initiate direct diplomatic contacts with Russia in connection with the "security threat" related to Russia.
Kirby added that while Russia's development of this particular capability is concerning, it
does not pose an immediate threat to anyone's safety.
Earlier today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Washington had not yet contacted Moscow about proposals for joint work on
anti-satellite weapons, but Russia is ready to work if such initiatives come up.
"If there are any initiatives from the US side," Peskov told reporters, answering a question about Russia's readiness for contacts on the issue.
Peskov noted that so far there have been no such requests.
