This was stated by Vladimir Putin, adding that Russia has developed space capabilities similar to those of the United States, Al Jazeera reported.
The Russian president's statement followed the White House's claim last week that Russia had obtained a "disturbing" potential anti-satellite weapon, although such a weapon was not yet operational.
White House national security spokesman John Kirby said it would violate the International Outer Space Treaty, but declined to comment on whether the weapon was nuclear-capable.
"Our position is quite clear and transparent: we have always been and remain categorically against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space. On the contrary, we call on everyone to adhere to all agreements that exist in this sphere," Putin said.
He called the accusations part of "the noise that is being made in the West".
"Russia has many times proposed to strengthen joint cooperation in the space sphere, but for some reason in the West this topic has not been raised again," said the Russian head of state.
"Russia has only developed space capabilities that other countries, including the US, have and they know it," Putin said during his meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
"We have not deployed any nuclear weapons in space or elements of them to use against satellites or create fields in which satellites cannot operate effectively," Shoigu said.
Shoigu argued that the White House may have floated the claims of a new Russian space capability to force Congress to back aid to Ukraine and also to encourage Moscow to re-engage in nuclear arms control talks that Russia suspended amid of the tension with the USA over Ukraine.
Putin did not rule out possible future contacts with the USA, but confirmed his opinion that Washington's desire to defeat Russia in Ukraine makes such a scenario impossible for now./BGNES
