The Kremlin has published a list of ‘potential targets’ in London, Leicester, Reading and Suffolk it claims are making drones for Ukraine.
Also on the list were a number of factories in Germany, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland and the Czech Republic, allegedly producing Ukrainian drones, as well as facilities Russia claims is manufacturing components in Germany, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, Israel and Turkey.
Dmitry Medvedev, the hawkish deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, followed up with a threat on X, writing: ‘Sleep well, European partners!’
‘Russian Defence Ministry’s statement must be taken literally: the list of European facilities which make drones & other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian armed forces.
‘When strikes become a reality depends on what comes next.’
One of the sites listed as a potential UK target is in Mildenhall, Suffolk, which is also the location of an RAF base.
It comes after the Russian military launched hundreds of drones at Ukraine in an overnight raid.
At least 15 people were killed and 90 injured in the attacks, which followed a short ceasefire over Orthodox Easter celebrations at the weekend.

These countries have made themselves targets so they must wear the consequenses.

And ain’t no need of those potential targets to look towards the U.S. for ANY help because they are so out of luck, it ain’t even funny!!! They’d be better off asking Yemen’s Houthis for assistance. Yeah! And tell ’em to check in with Bangladesh. See if they can help!

Israel’s only mentioned in passing by Medvedev. I truly believe if that state of thieving serial killers was gone, at least 3/4 of all the world’s wars would be gone!

That’s not my point! In the map above, several towns/cities and countries are mixed up badly. Something expected if it was created in USA …

I sense your right, SasjaL. I have a strong feeling the Russians didn’t present a map at all – that they just made a verbal threat.
