Russia published addresses of manufacturers allegedly producing drones or components for Ukraine on Wednesday (15 April), warning European countries against plans to step up UAV supplies to Kyiv.
The lists, published by the Russian Defence Ministry on messaging application Telegram, included details of Ukrainian firms supposedly operating in Europe, as well as mainly European companies that allegedly produce drones or drone components.
Addresses in Britain, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Turkey, as well as in Israel, were included in the lists.
Plans to increase drone production in Europe for Ukraine were a “sharp escalation”, the ministry warned in a statement on Telegram, saying it could lead to “unpredictable consequences”.
“Instead of strengthening the security of European states, the moves of European leaders are increasingly dragging these countries into the war with Russia,” the ministry added.
Ex-Russian president, now Deputy Chair of Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said in a subsequent post on X on Wednesday that the sites on the list were “potential targets for the Russian armed forces”.
The Czech Foreign Ministry said it had summoned the Russian ambassador over the threats by Moscow’s Defence Ministry and Medvedev.
"The statements were directed against several Czech companies that were identified as possible targets of Russian attacks," the ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
