Mike Turner, the head of the House Intelligence Committee in the US Congress, a Republican, stated that the committee had provided all members of Congress with information about a "serious threat to national security". This was mentioned in his statement, as reported by Hromadske.
"I urge President Biden to declassify all information related to this threat so that Congress, the administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions needed to address this threat", - emphasized Turner.
CNN, citing sources familiar with intelligence data, reports that the information is characterized by insiders as "highly sensitive". It is noted that this concerns the "russian potential that recently became known".
Subsequently, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, emphasized that "there is no cause for concern".
Jake Sullivan, the US National Security Advisor, commented on Turner's statement, stating that he had previously arranged a meeting with congressional leaders familiar with intelligence matters. Therefore, he is "a little surprised" that Turner's statement appeared today.
The official neither confirmed nor denied the congressman's words. However, according to American media reports, the "threat to US national security" concerns russia's intention to deploy nuclear weapons in space, particularly using them against satellites. US lawmakers consider the issue serious but believe it should not cause immediate concern.
According to Reuters, putin, through intermediaries, has repeatedly proposed freezing the war to the US, but the States have refused to discuss it without Kyiv's involvement.
