Russia’s Defense Ministry has published a list of European companies it claims produce drones for Ukraine and called them “potential targets.” Moscow also warned of possible escalation over such cooperation.
According to Russian media, the Russian Defense Ministry released a list of companies in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Israel, and Turkey, along with their addresses.
According to the ministry, these companies are allegedly involved in producing strike drones and components for Ukraine. The list includes what it describes as “branches of Ukrainian companies in Europe” and “foreign manufacturers of components.”
The Russian Defense Ministry said the publication was intended to inform European societies about “security threats.” Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev described the list as “potential targets” for Russian forces.
Russia also claims that expanding drone production in Europe could lead to escalation and draw these countries further into the war.
