Moscow Warns of 'Unpredictable Consequences' as Europe Arms Ukraine with Drones

Against the backdrop of rising losses and manpower shortages in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the leadership of several European countries has decided to increase the production and supply of drones to Kyiv for strikes on Russian territory, the Russian Ministry of Defense said.  The increase in drone supplies will take place through expanded funding for enterprises located in European countries that manufacture strike drones and their components, the ministry noted. "We regard this decision as a deliberate step leading to a sharp escalation of the military-political situation across the entire European continent and the gradual transformation of these countries into a strategic rear for Ukraine,” the statement said.
