He noted that by providing support to the Israeli regime with the help of drones, Ukraine “essentially entered into a war.”
According to the Iranian official, Ukraine, allegedly in accordance with Art. 51 of the United Nations Charter, “has made its entire territory a legitimate target for Iran.”

In Art. 51 of the UN Charter states that it does not limit the inalienable right of individual or collective self-defense in the event of an armed attack on a member of the Organization until the Security Council takes measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.
On March 9, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky reported 11 requests from countries neighboring Iran, European states and the United States for support from Ukraine in countering Iranian Shahed drones and other such challenges. There is no evidence that Israel is among these countries.
Context
After the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28, the Islamic State responded with ballistic missile and Shahed drone attacks, including on Middle Eastern countries where there are American military installations.
After that, Zelensky said that he could send the best Ukrainian specialists to the Middle East if the leaders of the region convince the illegitimate president of the aggressor country, Vladimir Putin, to agree to a month-long truce in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
In an interview with Rai Italia published on March 5, the president also informed that Ukraine is receiving requests from partners from the Middle East, as well as from Europe and the United States, to provide expertise in the fight against Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones used against civilian targets. At the same time, Zelensky recalled that the war continues in Ukraine itself and the country has a shortage of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles for the Patriot air defense system.
During an interview with Fox News, Trump, when asked whether Ukraine is helping the United States in the Middle East, responded with an objection. Commenting on these words, Zelensky emphasized on March 14 that it is not so much external statements that are important, but an understanding of one’s own steps and actions. “Rhetoric is rhetoric. The main thing is that we know what we are doing,” said the Ukrainian president.
