MOSCOW, April 17 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday that European countries were becoming more ‌involved in the war in Ukraine, referencing ‌a warning from Russia's Defence Ministry about drone production sites ​across the continent and in Britain.

The Defence Ministry on Wednesday warned against European plans to step up drone supplies to Ukraine and published a list ‌of factories and ⁠enterprises it alleged manufacture drones or drone components.

It listed facilities in Britain, Germany, ⁠Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Israel and Turkey.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, ​now deputy ​chair of Russia's ​Security Council, said in ‌a subsequent post on X that the list amounted to a list of potential targets for Russia's armed forces. "When strikes become a reality depends on what comes next. Sleep well, European partners!" said ‌Medvedev.

Asked whether the Defence Ministry's ​publication and Medvedev's comments meant ​that Russia was ​genuinely considering striking targets in Europe, ‌Peskov did not give a ​yes or ​no answer.

"These countries are becoming increasingly directly involved in the conflict, in the war surrounding ​Ukraine," said ‌Peskov. "The details are set out in the Defence ​Ministry's statement."
