Russia Threatens German Defense Plant in Ukraine

The Kremlin has declared Rheinmetall's newly opened military factory in Ukraine a legitimate target for Russian forces.

Rheinmetall, a leading German defense contractor, has opened a military factory in Ukraine, with plans for additional facilities.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the plant is considered a legitimate target by Russian military forces.
The German company plans to produce Lynx infantry fighting vehicles and other military equipment in Ukraine.
Rheinmetall has faced previous threats from Moscow but claims its operations in Ukraine are well protected.
Earlier this year, Rheinmetall's CEO was reportedly targeted in an assassination attempt by Russian operatives, which was thwarted by U.S. and German intelligence.
