Iran responded to Ukraine's accusations of supplying drones to Russians

Iran denied Ukraine's accusations of supplying Russia with kamikaze drones. Claim about “the influence of third countries”.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesman Nasser Kanani said he regrets the deterioration of diplomatic relations between Iran and Ukraine.

This decision is based on unconfirmed reports and is caused by the creation of a media space by foreign parties,” the minister said.

At the same time, Iran insisted that they allegedly maintain neutrality in the war, and the Foreign Minister held a number of meetings with the Russian Foreign Minister affairs to “help resolve the crisis.”

Moreover, Kanani advised the Ukrainian government to avoid the influence of third countries seeking to destroy relations between the two countries.
