At the same time, the evacuation from Iran to Azerbaijan continues.
“We respond to every request and will continue evacuation activities. I have instructed the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and intelligence to provide all the necessary opportunities for the protection of our people in the Middle East and the Gulf region,” Zelensky said.
In addition, among the people evacuated by Ukraine are citizens of Moldova, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Estonia and the United States.
Let us recall that on the morning of June 22, the United States struck three key nuclear facilities in Iran.
These are the two main uranium enrichment centers: a fortified mountain facility at Fordow and a plant at Natang. And a facility near the ancient city of Isfahan, where Iran is believed to store uranium.
As US President Donald Trump announced, the nuclear facilities have been completely and finally destroyed.
