There's a new move out of Russia that's getting Europe's attention.

This time Moscow is putting names and locations behind a threat, publishing a list of companies that it claims are helping Ukraine build drones, suggesting those facilities could be military targets.

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, European countries have been heavily involved in providing Kyiv with financial and military aid, supplying weapons systems and ammunition, and increasingly helping expand drone production.

The Russian Defense Ministry went ahead and published a detailed list on Telegram of 21 companies in total that it claims are tied to Ukraine's drone production.

And here's the critical detail.

It's not limited to Ukrainian firms.

According to Moscow, these operations stretch across Europe, Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK, Denmark and Latvia.

In some cases, Moscow even published specific coordinates of facilities, including at least three firms in Germany.

Now, the Kremlin is justifying this publicizing of European companies by arguing that Europe is crossing a line, not just supplying Ukraine, but actively participating in the production of weapons being used in strikes on Russian territory.

In their words, this is a quote, step towards escalation.

Well, frankly, so was the invasion of Ukraine, one that risks, quote, increasingly dragging European countries into war, end quote.

In a more formal statement, the Russian Defense Ministry goes further, calling this, quote, a deliberate step leading to a sharp escalation and the creeping transformation of these countries into Ukraine's strategic rear, end quote.

Hmm.

Now, the ministry went on to warn that strikes carried out with European produced drones could bring what they describe as, quote, unpredictable consequences.
