In principle, yes; but please note that:* There is no such thing as an "absolute velocity". You need to specify that it has zero velocity with respect to some other object. In other words, that it should move at the same velocity as that other object. As Earth, for example.

* An object won't stay at such a relative velocity of zero for long. Forces, and mainly gravitational forces, will soon change its velocity. For instance, if you have a spacecraft that is in orbit around Earth, and you make it halt, it will fall straight down. (In this case, it is precisely its speed that keeps it in orbit.)
