BAE Systems; the UK's defence heavyweight, plans to bolster weapons supply in Ukraine, even considering producing light artillery locally. Russia, however, isn't cheering and Kremlin's Dmitry Peskov warns that such ventures would catch Russia's "special attention", hinting at complications. Since Russia's 2022 invasion, the UK's been Ukraine's strong arm, sending them defence support. BAE hasn’t set up shop in Ukraine yet, but talks are buzzing. President Zelensky; keen on homemade weapons, has had a talk with BAE's boss, Charles Woodburn, about teaming up, but Peskov feels this won't really tip the scales in the ongoing conflict. So, while BAE eyes business, Russia watches closely, and the Ukraine-Russia tussle gets another layer.
