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.
