Russia says European arms factories are legitimate military targets
Original: Factories in Europe producing arms for Ukraine are legitimate and potential military targets for Russia, Foreign Minist
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday that European factories producing weapons for Ukraine are legitimate and potential military targets for Russia. The statement escalates Moscow's rhetoric toward NATO countries supplying Kyiv, raising concerns about the war spilling beyond Ukraine's borders and the safety of defence production sites inside European Union and NATO member states.
Why now: The threat directly raises fears of Russian attacks on European territory as Western arms support for Ukraine continues.
