Quote: "Transferring missiles to [Russia], Iran knows that it will attack our cities. Teaching Russians to use drones, it knows that they will attack [the Ukrainian] energy sector, provoking waves of refugees to the EU. Tehran is an accomplice of aggression in Europe and must be officially recognized as such."

Background:

  • Yurii Ihnat, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Air Force, said on 1 November that the Iranian-made ballistic missiles which Russia is planning to purchase from Iran would probably be deployed on Ukraine’s northern border.
  • Iran is preparing to send Russia approximately 1,000 additional weapon units, including ballistic short-range surface-to-surface missiles and attack drones; a batch of more than 200 UAVs is due to be transferred in early November.
