Europe to boost drone production for Ukraine

Russia's Defense Ministry has published the addresses of facilities in Europe that assemble UAVs and their components for Ukraine. The ministry stated this decision by European leaders, made on March 26, 2026, to increase drone production for Kyiv is a deliberate step leading to a sharp escalation and the 'creeping transformation' of those countries into a strategic rear for Ukraine. It warned that using European-produced drones for attacks on Russia leads to 'unpredictable consequences' and is dragging Europe into a direct war. The public statement, which includes the specific addresses, frames the European effort as the primary cause of security threats on the continent.
