Kirby confirmed that this is the anti-satellite capability that Moscow is developing.

However, he immediately stated that this is not an active capability that has been deployed. As of now, there is no immediate threat to anyone's safety. We are not talking about weapons that can be used to attack people or cause physical destruction on Earth.

At the same time, U.S. President Joe Biden was briefed on the situation and gave a number of instructions. In particular, to establish a direct diplomatic dialog with Russia on this issue.

President Biden has directed a number of initial actions to be taken. These include briefings for congressmen, direct diplomatic engagement with Russia, with our allies and partners, and with other countries around the world that have their interests at stake

Kirby said.

Speaker of the House Johnson noted on Monday that the Senate's document does not address the border crisis, which he said is the "most serious problem" facing the United States.

In addition, Johnson called the document "pre-emptively unpassable" in the House of Representatives.
