Any facility producing Western weapons in Ukraine will become a legitimate target for the Russian armed forces, said Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian president.

"As for the report on plans to organize the production of long-range missiles on the territory of Ukraine, we [i.e. Russia] have heard about it, we are closely following the information, we are checking it. Any such facility will become a legitimate target for Russia," Peskov said.

The Kremlin considers it premature to talk about the emergence of new benchmarks in the Ukrainian settlement process.
