Moscow Signals Possible Strikes on European Drone Production Sites

Russia could begin carrying out preemptive strikes against facilities in Europe that manufacture drones for Ukraine after the large-scale attack on the city of Ryazan, Andrey Kolesnik, a member of the Russian State Duma Defense Committee said. Russian Lawmaker Points to Europe as Ukraine’s Rear Base Speaking to Gazeta.ru, Kolesnik argued that Moscow should start identifying and potentially targeting production sites connected to Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian territory. “It's already time to carry out preemptive strikes. It's time to start looking closely at where the drones that strike our territory and our civilian population are being produced. That is Europe,” Kolesnik stated. According to the Russian lawmaker, European countries have effectively become logistical and industrial support hubs for Ukraine’s military drone campaign.
