Russia reiterated on Wednesday that it considers European factories producing weapons for Ukraine to be potential military targets, a warning issued by the spokeswoman for Russian diplomacy.
Asked about Poland's plans to host Patriot missile production, she said: "It should not be assumed that military factories located outside Ukrainian territory that produce weapons for the Ukrainian armed forces will be safe."
The statement comes as several European countries consider boosting their weapons production capacity to support Ukraine against the Russian invasion, with Poland cited as a potential site for manufacturing Patriot missiles.
The Russian warning comes amid heightened tensions, also marked by emergency power cuts in Kyiv and several regions of Ukraine following new Russian attacks.
Ukrainian authorities and their European allies did not immediately respond publicly to this specific warning concerning weapons production sites.
