🇷🇺🇪🇺RUSSIA Declares EUROPEAN Drone Factories Legitimate Targets for Strikes Russian officials have recently escalated their rhetoric on this point, framing European factories producing drones (and other weapons) for Ukraine as legitimate military targets subject to potential strikes by the Russian Armed Forces. 💥Dmitry Medvedev (former Russian president and deputy chairman of the Security Council) stated that EU drone and weapons factories are "potential targets" and urged European "partners" to "sleep well," emphasizing that the warning should be taken literally. 💥Andrei Kolesnik (member of the State Duma Defense Committee) argued that European Union countries now act as a "rear base" for manufacturing drones and other equipment for the Ukrainian army, so such facilities "should already be treated as targets regardless of where they are located."
