South Africa Backs Russian Proposal to Ban Space Arms Race Space is a "common heritage" and must be used exclusively for the global good and peaceful purposes, SANSA CEO Humbulani Mudau stated at the first Russian Space Forum.If Russia officially presents to UN bodies its proposal to create a legally binding treaty preventing an arms race in outer space, Pretoria will provide its full backing, Mudau confirmed.🪐 The move followed a call from Roscosmos head Dmitry Bakanov to secure a "peaceful space for all," a key theme of "Space Week 2026" marking the 65th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s flight.Footage by RoscosmosSubscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
