The Ukrainian Foreign Minister has confirmed that the recent attack on an Iranian vessel was accidental, asserting that Ukraine does not seek further escalation. This statement was made in response to comments from Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who noted that Iran also does not wish for heightened tensions but has firmly stated that any attack on its citizens or interests is unacceptable. Furthermore, Amir-Abdollahian called for compensation for damages incurred. The situation raises questions regarding previous incidents, including the downing of a Ukrainian Airlines flight in January 2020, and the compensation owed to the families of those who lost their lives on board.
