Zelenskyy on threats from Iranian regime: We aren’t afraid of such statements
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he saw nothing new in Iran’s threats to strike Ukraine if it provides assistance to Middle Eastern countries in repelling Iranian attacks.
“This is nothing new. I have heard many different messages over the last four years. What’s important for us is that the United States and leaders of Middle Eastern countries asked for help with drone interceptors. They sought our expertise in air defense. Air defense is not about offensive capabilities. That’s why I said that we were ready to help with this expertise and defensive systems. We are not afraid of any messages of the kind. We have heard such messages every day for the last four years, for 12 years, to be precise. It’s not new for us,” he said in an interview with i24NEWS and the Jerusalem Post.
As reported, Iran’s parliamentary national security committee chairman, Ebrahim Azizi, said Ukraine was "drawn into the war" because of its alleged drone support for Israel.
“By providing drone support to the Israeli regime, failed Ukraine has effectively become involved in the War and, under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, has turned its entire territory into a legitimate target for Iran,” he said on X Saturday.
