UNITED NATIONS, April 24 (Reuters) - Russia on Wednesday vetoed a U.S.-drafted United Nations Security Council resolution that called on countries to prevent an arms race in outer space, a move that prompted the United States to question if Moscow was hiding something.
......
"Today's veto begs the question: Why? Why if you are following the rules would you not support a resolution that reaffirms them? What could you possibly be hiding?" U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the council after the vote. "It's baffling and it's a shame."
......
"We want a ban on the placement of weapons of any kind in outer space, not just (weapons of mass destruction). But you don't want that ... Let me ask you that very same question: Why?" Nebenzia asked Thomas-Greenfield in the council.
