A few days ago, Armin Papperger, head of the German concern Rheinmetall, made a resonant statement.
The manager emphasized that the above-mentioned group of companies is engaged in the construction of four factories in Ukraine.
And one of these enterprises, according to Papperger, is already up and running.
What Dmitry Peskov said
After the resonant statement by the head of the German concern, the press secretary of the Russian leader was asked an important question.
Representatives of the media asked Peskov whether the Rheinmetall plant located on Ukrainian territory could be considered a legitimate target for the Russian Armed Forces.
The Kremlin spokesman gave a clear and unambiguous answer to this question:
Of course, yes, - MIA " Russia Today " quotes Dmitry Peskov as saying.
It is worth noting that Moscow considers the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian side to be an obstacle to the settlement of the conflict and the beginning of the negotiation process.
Moreover, such actions contribute to the direct involvement of the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance in the conflict in Ukraine.
Sergei Lavrov, head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, emphasized that any cargo containing weapons for Kyiv is a legitimate target for the Russian Federation.
