According to the Russian deputy, Moscow "does not rule out" attacks on factories that manufacture drones and missiles for Ukraine's Defense Forces. He stated that Russia "will come to this" and "will be forced" to carry out such strikes so that, in his words, "Europeans come to their senses." Kolesnik also claimed that Russia "does not intend to only defend itself" in response to strikes on its territory.
As noted, such statements complement the lists of enterprises in European countries that cooperate with Ukraine in the defense sector, previously published by the Kremlin, and which may actually be considered by Moscow as potential targets.
Earlier, similar threats were voiced by other Russian officials, including the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, who also called defense enterprises in Europe "potential targets." Analysts view such statements as part of information and psychological pressure on countries that support Ukraine.
