Dangerous maneuver of the Russian satellite. US Undersecretary of State: shows behaviors threatening security

Recent reports indicate that the Russian military satellite Kosmos-2612 has been maneuvering dangerously close to the commercial satellite ICEYE-X36, raising security concerns. Thomas G. DiNanno, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Arms Control, stated that these actions threaten safety protocols. Kosmos-2612, launched in April 2026, has been observed altering its orbit to approach ICEYE-X36, which is crucial for military operations in Ukraine. Experts suggest that this behavior may be an attempt to gather intelligence or send a warning signal. The ICEYE satellite is vital for the defense of Ukraine, Poland, and the U.S., having previously contributed to significant military successes.
