Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said his country's military has shot down 260 Iranian-made drones used by Russia in the war in Ukraine.
Kuleba said Iran still has time to backtrack and reverse its decision to help Russia in the war. “If we received real rock-solid evidence that Iran ceased
cooperation with Russia and that Russia is not receiving their drones one way or another, we will be in a position to keep our relations afloat,But Kuleba added that if Iran continues to supply Russia with drones or provides missiles to Moscow, Ukraine’s policy “will be absolutely ruthless in defending ourselves against countries who participate in Russia's aggression."
“Any country that will be helping Russia one way or another to continue military aggression against Ukraine will face consequences and we have no strings attached when it comes to going after such players, we will use all instruments open and discrete. Everything that is not against international law will be involved to stop such country."Kuleba told Axios the Iranian drones were used to target power stations, which will affect the ability of Ukrainian citizens to survive during winter.
“By cooperating with Russia in this field, Iran has already become an accomplice in these crimes," he said.
