The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has stated that Ukraine will continue to take measures to prevent Russia from using Iranian weapons to kill Ukrainians, and warned Tehran that the consequences of complicity in Russian aggression will be more extensive than the benefits Iran will receive from its support for Russia.

The Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has publicly admitted that Tehran has provided drones to Russia, claiming that they were sent to Russia months before the full-scale invasion in Ukraine.

"Previously, Iran had denied supplying weapons to Russia, which Russians use in the war, in every possible way", Oleh Nikolenko, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, wrote on his Facebook page.

In addition, he noted that the Iranian Foreign Minister has spread insinuations about the alleged Ukrainians’ refusal to meet with Iranian experts due to the pressure from Western partners.

"Ukraine has been taught to trust only the facts. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, headed by Dmytro Kuleba, in close coordination with the relevant Ukrainian agencies, will continue to take the most severe measures to prevent Russia from using Iranian weapons to kill Ukrainians and destroy our critical infrastructure.

Tehran should realise that the consequences of complicity in the crimes of the Russian Federation aggression against Ukraine will be much more extensive than the benefit from its support for Russia."

Russia has recently been using kamikaze drones en masse to attack Ukraine, namely Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones. Russian forces use them under the title "Geran". Tehran has repeatedly denied the supply of drones to Russia. The White House considers Iran's denials false.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that Iran's provision of weapons to Russia to wage a full-scale war makes it an accomplice to aggression and war crimes against Ukraine. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, submitted to the Ukrainian President a proposal to sever diplomatic relations with Iran due to Russia's use of Iranian drones against Ukraine.
