Iranian drones are used in Ukraine and that they are preparing sanctions
United States in UN said that they are sure that Iranian drones are used in Ukraine and that they are preparing sanctions.
The United States said at a meeting of the UN Security Council that it has no doubts about the origin of kamikaze drones, which Russia has been using massively against Ukraine lately, and it is preparing sanctions against Iran.
The State Department:
The issue of Iranian drones in Ukraine was raised together by the United States, Britain and France:
"We expressed deep concern about Russia's acquisition of these drones from Iran, contrary to UN Security Council Resolution 2231. The U.S. began warning back in July about Iran's plans to provide UAVs to Russia for use in its barbaric war against Ukraine, and we now have ample evidence that these drones are hitting Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.
While Iran continues to lie and deny providing Russia with weapons for use in Ukraine, we will work with allies and partners to prevent Russia from transferring dangerous weapons. We will not hesitate to use sanctions and other appropriate tools against anyone involved in this process."
The State Department adds that Washington will continue to provide Ukraine with extensive military assistance, including air defense assets, so that it can defend itself against this new threat.
As you know, the Russian Federation has recently been massively using kamikaze drones for strikes against Ukraine, which experts identify as Iran's Shahed-136, while Russian forces use them as Geranium. Tehran has repeatedly denied handing over the drones to Russia. The White House considers Iran's denials untrue.
Ukraine says that Iran's provision of weapons to Russia for a full-scale war makes it an accomplice to aggression and war crimes on the territory of Ukraine, Dmitry Kuleba calls to break diplomatic relations with Tehran.
He also said that Ukraine is ready to hand over a "bag of evidence" to EU countries that doubt Russia's use of Iranian drones.
