Quote: "The prosecutor's office and investigative bodies have no doubts that Iranian officials, legal entities and individuals are involved in the production and supply of drones to the Russian Federation for the purpose of further use against our people. These are operational data and data of intelligence units, both Ukrainian and our international partners."

Details: Belousov emphasised that Ukraine will prove the guilt of those officials and individuals in national and international courts, using evidentiary information.

Quote: "And right now, the investigative bodies and the prosecutor's office are gathering evidence with which we will be able to convince the court of the involvement of those persons in these crimes."

The prosecutor added that for this purpose, hundreds of investigative actions and hundreds of examinations are currently being conducted, and will be completed in the near future.

He assured that there is sufficient evidence to prove the guilt of officials and individuals of Iran, as well as representatives of any other countries that assist Iran in the development or supply of these drones, their use in Ukraine, assuring that "we will be able to prove all this in the courts and all these persons will be brought to justice."

Quote: "It is important for us to track the entire chain, from production to delivery and direct use. Of course, all these individuals who supply components, who assemble these drones, who teach Russians to use these drones and those individuals who directly launch them on our citizens, in our cities – all of them must be identified. It takes time, it's hundreds, thousands of people. We already have information on a significant part of them. We hope that each of them will be identified." 

Background: On 20 January, Ivan Chyzhevskyi, Prosecutor of the Department of Combating Crimes in the Armed Conflict of the Prosecutor General's Office, stated that the Ukrainian investigation has not yet determined the origin of the combat drones that Russia has been using against Ukraine since September and which are considered Iranian.
