Russia says European arms factories supplying Ukraine are potential military targets for Moscow
Maria Zakharova said European arms factories making weapons for Ukraine are legitimate Russian military targets as NATO vows continued support.
- On Wednesday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that weapons factories in European countries producing arms for Ukraine are "potential military targets for Russia," stating that anyone believing such facilities remain safe is "mistaken."
- Zakharova's comments followed questions about Poland's readiness to host a Patriot interceptor-missile factory, as she argued that opening arms factories means European countries are "not merely providing aid" but "fully involved" in the conflict.
- Emphasizing direct European involvement, Zakharova stated that European countries are "directly involved in the Ukrainian conflict" through arms production partnerships, not merely offering humanitarian aid to Kyiv.
- NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte countered on Wednesday that the alliance's threat assessment regarding Russia remains unchanged from three weeks, three months and a year ago, reacting with "a bit of calm."
- Rutte observed that Russian President Vladimir Putin appears unwilling to negotiate peace, saying "it takes two to tango," while NATO and European countries continue pledging full support to Ukraine against Russian forces.
