Sergei Berezhnoy, an aide to the head of the Titov Space Control Center, said that Russian aerospace defense authorities have not been tasked with preparing for the contingency of an alien attack.
"There are enough problems on Earth and in near-Earth space," Berezhnoy said in response to a reporter's question.
The planet's space powers are in any event limited in their scope of action for building up military capabilities beyond the Earth's confines. Under the terms of the 1976 Outer Space Treaty, to which Russia is a signatory, states cannot place weapons of mass destruction in orbit, although conventional weapons are allowed.
The Titov Space Control Center, which is run by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces, is the country's primary military and commercial satellite control facility.
The facility currently operates about 80 percent of Russian orbital spacecraft.

Berezhnoy didn't broach the subject. Rather, he was answering a question from a reporter.
His response was rational. It's the reporter, not Berezhnoy, who was the doofus.
. . . if you read any of the many stories of seeming "UFO" adjustments, let's say, with the Yanks abilities to get an ICBM into the air the stupid notion of "preparing for the aliens" drops into its proper context, at the bottom of the round file.
Besides, we've -already- been very effectively "invaded" by the 6% . . .
The military may be powerless though they still have the weapon Mr. Putin. While he's around no alien would dare touch this planet.
I'm unprepared to deal with space alien invasion too.
However the understanding of some is that they are already here and working with the psychos that rule the planet in order to make life impossible for humanity so we will all give up and die off without any of the otherwise unpleasantness that would be frowned upon by the good aliens of the Supreme Galactic Council.
The problem with this theory is that the aliens seem to be somewhat superfluous and some might argue they would find our leadership distasteful even by thier standards. Perhaps a little ketchup would help?
Whatdya expect? Reason?
We have barely managed to send a rocket to the moon and to mars yet we consider to defend the planet from a civilization that managed to overcome interstellar travel ...???
