The Ukrainian Parliament has advanced new legislation that would create the Space Forces as a new branch of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This would involve the development of space technologies, including defending against threats from space, such as Russia's Oreshnik IRBM. A national early-warning system to detect Russian missile launchers was also proposed as, which could involve Ukraine's own satellites. This comes as Ukraine has reportedly been testing it's own exo-atmospheric interception systems, and is in the aftermath of the October Starshield/Starlink restrictions.
