MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia on Friday condemned plans by Denmark to host a Ukrainian production facility for long-range missile fuel, saying the move would increase the risks of escalation and lead to more bloodshed in Ukraine.

The Danish government announced the plan, the first expansion abroad by a Ukrainian defence company, last week.
