Russia has voiced serious concern over the U.S. Golden Dome defense initiative, a $175 billion project aimed at countering threats from China and Russia.
According to Russia’s state-run TASS news agency, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that while Moscow views the project as a serious issue, there is no need to panic.
Ryabkov stressed that the project must be taken seriously given the advanced technological and financial resources the U.S. now has, far beyond the era of former President Reagan. He said this increases the urgency for Russia to strengthen its own security measures.He also pointed out that Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly assured that Russia’s strategic missile systems are capable of overcoming any missile defense.
Ryabkov criticized Washington’s plan to include space-based interceptors in the Golden Dome system, echoing concerns previously voiced by China, and warned that such moves threaten global strategic stability.
The Golden Dome is a proposed U.S. missile defense system designed to intercept threats using advanced technologies across land, sea, and space.On Tuesday, Trump said he had approved a design and named a U.S. Space Force general to lead the program. The system includes space-based sensors and interceptors capable of stopping missiles launched from anywhere in the world—even from space. It aims to detect and neutralize threats at all stages of flight, with the goal of becoming operational before the end of his term.
China has also criticized the project. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning warned it threatens global stability and urged the U.S. to halt its development, calling it a move that undermines strategic trust and collective security.
