Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky referred to Iran’s assertion that it had sent a “limited” number of drones to Russia as a fabrication. Said In his nighttime address on Saturday.

In addition, he contradicted Tehran’s timeframe.

“Today there were messages from Iran, from official representatives. There they decided to admit that they did supply drones for Russian terror. But even in this confession, they lied,” Zelensky said. “We shoot down at least 10 Iranian drones every day, and the Iranian regime claims that it allegedly gave little — and even before the start of the full-scale invasion.”

According to Zelensky, efforts to look into “the terrorist cooperation between the Russian and Iranian regimes and what Russia is paying Iran for such cooperation” will increase if “Iran continues lying about the obvious.”

Iranian statements Hossein Amirabdollahian, the foreign minister of Iran, claimed during a press conference on Saturday that Tehran had supplied a small number of the weaponry before to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Some Western countries have accused Iran of helping the war in Ukraine by providing drones and missiles to Russia,” Amirabdollahian said. “The part regarding missiles is completely wrong. The part about drones is correct, we did provide a limited number of drones to Russia in the months before the start of the war in Ukraine.”
