Tehran says Zelenskyy using Iran to gain West’s support
Ukraine, he added, had “specific political goals and motives behind such accusations” and was “avoiding expert negotiations with the Iranian side to investigate the claims”.
Russia has reportedly used 1,160 Iranian-made Shahed kamikaze drones in attacks against Ukraine.
“Even though we have learnt to shoot down most of your kamikaze drones … there are still hits,” Zelenskyy said Wednesday.
“When an Iranian drone kills a pregnant Ukrainian girl and her husband in their home, why do you, mothers and fathers in Iran, need this?” he added.
“When your Shahed hits a dormitory with our students, people die, a fire starts, rescuers arrive, and in a few minutes a second Shahed hits.”
Russia invaded its neighbour in February 2022, sparking the biggest conflict on European soil since World War II.
