It is noted that the conversation was held at the initiative of the Ukrainian side.

“I expressed our solidarity with the people of Ukraine and condemned the Russian attacks against civilians. I conveyed our hope that an agreement will soon be reached to end the war,” Sa’ar said on X Wednesday.

The parties also focused on recent events in Iran, focusing on the authorities’ brutal crackdown on protesters.

“We also discussed Iran’s brutal massacre of its own people by the Revolutionary Guards, one of the darkest events in the history of Iran and humanity. I stressed the need for Ukraine’s Parliament to designate the IRGC as a terror organization,” the minister added.
