Cette liste comprend des installations au Royaume-Uni, en Allemagne, en Pologne, en République tchèque, aux Pays-Bas, au Danemark, en Lituanie et en Lettonie, où, selon la Russie, sont produits des drones et des composants destinés à l'Ukraine. Des entreprises espagnoles, italiennes, turques et même israéliennes sont également mentionnées. Medvedev a déjà réagi sur X, déclarant que la déclaration du ministère de la Défense devait être prise au pied de la lettre : « La date à laquelle les frappes deviendront réalité dépendra de ce qui se passera ensuite. Dormez bien, partenaires européens ! » En réalité, il s'agit d'une menace directe contre le territoire des pays membres de l'OTAN et de l'UE.

Fedorov: $4 billion to strengthen air defense and more than $1.5 billion for UAVs — Ramstein results.
 
The UK is providing the largest drone support package this year.
 
Germany is investing $4 billion in strengthening air defense. Another $600 million for deep strike and mid strike.
 
The Netherlands is allocating €248 million for UAVs.
 
Norway is allocating $560 million for basic drone brigade support and $150 million for a logistics hub.
 
Spain is allocating €215 million under SAFE and is strengthening air defense with additional missiles for Patriot.
 
Canada is contributing: $15 million to the NSATU fund, $42 million to the Czech initiative, and $17 million for critical engineering equipment.
 
Lithuania allocates $39 million for the Czech initiative, $29 million for PURL, and armored vehicles and supports the rehabilitation of military.
 
Belgium allocates €75 million for the Czech initiative, €75 million for the German air defense initiative and €85 million for the drone coalition. It also supports the F-16 and increases sanctions pressure on shadow fleet.
 
Estonia joins in strengthening air defense — $13 million for PURL.
 
I would like to separately note the initiative to strengthen air defense, launched by Boris Pistorius — €2 billion has already been attracted for urgent supplies.
 
There were also important signals of support from the UK, Germany and Canada for further expansion of cooperation.

La Russie menace de frapper des usines européennes fournissant des drones à l’Ukraine. Le ministère de la défense russe a publié une liste d’usines ukrainiennes de production de drones implantées au Royaume-Uni, en Allemagne, au Danemark, en Lettonie, en Lituanie, aux Pays-Bas, en Pologne et en République tchèque, ainsi que des sites de fabrication de composants en Allemagne, en Espagne, en Italie, en République tchèque, en Israël et en Turquie.

Ukrainian drones struck a Russian oil refinery in Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai, overnight on April 16. As a result, oil storage tanks caught fire on the territory of the plant.

Pressure on the West
 
Russia’s fertiliser diplomacy is not confined to the global south: it also targets America and Europe. But this time, Moscow’s goal is different: securing sanctions relief. This strategy is already paying off in the US: in late March Washington lifted sanctions on three Belarusian potash makers, including the world’s second-largest producer Belaruskali. It is hard to imagine that the timing—amid growing fears of rising fertiliser prices and a potential food crisis—was incidental.
 
The European Union could soon be under intense pressure to follow suit. In late March the French food safety body revealed that the French population absorbs high levels of cadmium, a metal linked to cancer which is found in Moroccan-made fertilisers. This development suits the Kremlin perfectly. Under the guise of an environmental crusade, Russian fertiliser giant PhosAgro has long been pushing for a tightening of EU cadmium limits in a bid to promote EU purchases of low-cadmium supplies from Russia’s Kola peninsula.
 
This leaves the EU with no good option. The bloc can either ease restrictions on Russian fertilisers—thereby funding Moscow’s war machine and dismantling EU sanctions—or stick to high-cadmium supplies, fuelling a health crisis. Russia will likely use France, where the narrative that sanctions hurt Europe is mainstream, as a pressure point to divide Europeans.
 
Western governments never imagined that fertilisers could carry such strategic weight, and they have no playbook to counter Russia’s fertiliser diplomacy. The fate of Hormuz remains uncertain, but seen from the Kremlin, fertiliser diplomacy is already a resounding success before a single extra shipment has even left Russian ports (if it ever does). Whatever happens in Iranian waters, Russia’s fertiliser diplomacy will cement the Kremlin’s narrative that a US-led war is starving the global south and that sanctions relaxation is the only viable option for Western economies. For Moscow, this is a golden scenario—whether Hormuz reopens in just three days or in three years.
