He added that according to Ukrainian intelligence, Russians share intelligence information with the Iranian regime and help it.
— My intelligence told me that the Russians said that if Europe and the US can help Ukraine with intelligence in this war, it means that Russia can help the Iranian regime.

The Russians deny passing on the information. Steve Witkoff spoke up
On Tuesday, US special envoy for peacekeeping Steve Witkoff stated that during a telephone conversation between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Monday, the Russians denied passing intelligence information to Iran. Witkoff said that “you can take the Russians at their word.”
Witkoff previously said he had strongly warned Russians against helping Iran attack U.S. troops. President Trump claimed that, contrary to media reports, there is no indication that Iran is receiving such aid, but even if it was, there are no visible effects because Iran is being “decimated.” Trump also claimed that Russians could say that the US is doing the same in Ukraine.
