He urged Europe to take the list "literally". "The list of European facilities which make drones & other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian armed forces," he said. The Russian Defence Ministry said the decision by European countries to increase drone production for Ukraine had led to a "sharp escalation of the military-political situation across the entire European continent" and could incur "unpredictable consequences". It said that "instead of strengthening the security of European states, the actions of European leaders are increasingly drawing these countries into a war with Russia".
