Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Iran has been informed through diplomatic channels of the consequences of Tehran sending new weapon deliveries of attack drones and ballistic missiles to Russia.
“I have said and will repeat again that when it comes to the complicity of any country in Russian aggression and the killing of our citizens, we will be absolutely ruthless in our actions in response, because it is about the protection of our state and our citizens,” Kuleba said.
Kuleba added: “A much wiser decision for Iran would be to completely curtail its military cooperation, supply to Russia of any weapons used against Ukraine.”
