The Kremlin said it is closely monitoring which countries are providing Ukraine with weapons and production licenses, according to a report by Turkey's Anadolu Agency.
The statement came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United States would provide Kyiv with licenses to produce Patriot air defense system missiles domestically, the report said. Anadolu's report did not include the full text of the Kremlin's statement or specify which Kremlin official made the comments.
Limited detail on scope
The report did not clarify whether the Kremlin described any specific response or consequences tied to its monitoring of arms suppliers, nor did it name additional countries beyond the United States in connection with the Patriot licensing arrangement.
Ukraine has sought Western-supplied air defense systems, including Patriot batteries, throughout the war with Russia to counter missile and drone strikes on its cities and infrastructure. Domestic production licensing, if confirmed, would mark a shift toward local manufacturing capacity for such systems.
No further details on the licensing arrangement's timeline or scope were included in the available report.
