“Our position is well known, and Ukraine has said it many times, including on the eve of these events. It is important to save as many human lives as possible. It is important to prevent the war from expanding. It is important that the United States is resolute. And whenever America is resolute, global criminals weaken,” Zelensky said in a video address on Saturday.

The president noted that “events in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region are developing very quickly. Unfortunately, Ukraine knows this all too well. Although the Ukrainians have never threatened Iran, the Iranian regime itself decided to become Putin's accomplice and supplied him with Shaheds, not only the drones themselves, but also the technologies.”
President Zelensky emphasized that Iran also supplied Russia with other weapons. He concluded that since February 24, 2022, Russians have used over 57,000 weapons against Ukraine. Shahed attack drones – against people, cities and energy.
